20 March 2024If you’re planning on travelling at least once a year, this card is a no-brainer. You technically make $5 as your annual ‘fee’

29 September 2022I absolutely love the Amex Explorer Card. I will always use the $400 travel credit each year, so the $395 annual fee is irrelevant and technically means I make $5 by having the card. I pay the full balance due each month so I have never incurred the high interest rate charges. I had previously had a Gold Amex that cost me $80, but I didn't get anything for that. 2 points for each $1 spend, excluding government services, which you still get 1 point. I pay my quarterly tax and GST using the card and the fee the Tax office charge for using Amex is a tax deduction.
