I have yet to get an AMEX card.
I have heard that AMEX is a good way to earn points, but I would like to hear from someone who has actually used it what they think.

What is the best part of having it ??

I currently live in Hawaii and have been using the AMEX Gold Card since the 1980s ) when I was in Japan. The membership fee is not cheap ( Japan,900,US $ 250 ) but the service and security that comes with it is second to none. There is no problem using it in any country, especially when traveling abroad frequently. If there is an unusual pattern of use ( for example, use in a foreign country you have never been to ), you will receive an email immediately checking to see if you have actually used the card. There have been several instances of unauthorized use in foreign countries, but the credit card company contacted us without us having to report it, and we were able to prevent the problem before it happened. Also, if you lose your card, you can have a replacement card issued within a few days. This is not the case with Visa or Master Card. The points are not so advantageous compared to other cards, but the best thing is that the security is good and the card can be used with peace of mind. Moreover, Gold Card has no spending limit, so you can make millions of dollars of expensive purchases. ( Naturally, point redemption is also advantageous. ) When you use this card in Japan, its superiority to other cards is not so obvious, but I think this card is essential for those who often go abroad.

There are cards with no membership fee. However, the level of service will be lower. See below.
