    Terms & conditions

    Rates and offers change. Every rate, fee, welcome offer and benefit on this page was accurate when last reviewed, but American Express can change or withdraw any of them at any time — sometimes without notice. Confirm the current terms on American Express's own website before you apply.

    Eligibility is theirs to decide. Approval, credit limits, interest rates and welcome offers depend on your credit history and American Express's own criteria. Bonuses often exclude anyone who has held the card before, and usually require a minimum spend within a set period.
