American Express launches traveller’s credit card
New York based finance corporation, American Express, has unveiled their latest credit card offering. The ‘Blue Sky Card’ is specifically designed for use by holidaymakers who will receive points when the card is used for travel reasons. The card also comes equipped with an automatic cashback scheme where those who manage to acquire 4000 points will be rewarded with a saving of £50 on travel goods.
Travellers who use the card are also insured against unexpected occurrences such as the loss of luggage and late flight departures. A company spokesman said that the card should prove to be extremely popular amongst those who frequently travel.
With family households having to cut back on expenses due to the current economic climate and the strong possibility of airlines having to increase their fares, there is no guarantee that the card will gain any great popularity in the UK.
The card can be used on holidays, cruises and a variety of other holiday package deals.
