at a time in increments of 7,500, which is the equivalent of a $100 credit.
The Blue Sky from American Express has much more to offer than just the rewards program.
You will enjoy access to such services as an online year-end financial statement,
auto rental insurance, and return protection services. Return protection services
allow cardholders to receive a credit of up to $300 for non-refundable purchases within
90 days. This card has a very competitive interest rate and comes with no annual fee.
The card comes with a very attractive 0% introductory APR on purchases for the first
6 months and a 4.99% APR on balance transfers that you submit during the application
