  • Best Travel Card for Beginners? (The American Express Green Card!)
    In this video, I will discuss on how undervalued the American Express Green Card is as a travel card. The perfect beginner travel card for individuals who want to get their footprint in the American Express Membership Rewards (MR) program. I will also compare the green card to the Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card. The Chase card is heralded as everyone's favorite starter card and let's see how the American Express Green Card fares.

    Let’s go Mike! I cancelled, lit on fire, and buried my Green Card last year, but I always thought it was a good card.
    At the time I thought I would 3x on all my airbnb stays, but went to full on hotel stays after a bad experience with one hahaha.
    I think like you said, that LoungeBuddy credit is a little underrated, getting in some of those lounges is powerful with it!
    Great video Mike!

    I don't see the AMEX green being in my future. I already have Clear from the Aspire card, and it sounded great to have, but it has never been useful to me. I'm sure I will encounter a time where Clear will be useful, but so far the TSA Pre-check line has always been short for me, without having to use my Clear benefit.

    • @SledgeIncTeam
      @SledgeIncTeam 4 месяца назад +3

      The best case use for CLEAR is when they put you to the front of the Precheck line.
