American Express Blue: A Leader in Innovation
Overview
American Express has always been at the forefront of innovation in the credit card industry, and the Blue card is a testament to this legacy. Launched in 1999, the Blue card offers no annual fee, an impressive rewards program, and a broad array of features. Yet, the most groundbreaking developments were still on the horizon.
RFID Technology: A Game Changer
Since June 2005, all American Express Blue cards have been equipped with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, in addition to a traditional magnetic strip. RFID allows information to be transmitted wirelessly over short distances. This innovation enables users to simply tap or hold their card near an RFID reader at any participating ExpressPay merchant to complete their transaction quickly and effortlessly.
According to American Express, using RFID significantly accelerates the payment process?"63% faster than cash and 53% faster than traditional credit card transactions.
The Convenience of the RFID Key Fob
In collaboration with Texas Instruments RFID Systems, American Express introduced an RFID key fob, available to all Blue cardholders. This handy device attaches easily to keychains and allows users to make everyday purchases, such as fuel and groceries, without a wallet.
All purchases made with the key fob are charged directly to the cardholder's account, with charges itemized in the monthly statement for easy tracking. Purchases are highlighted with details including the merchant, date, and amount spent. For security, a daily limit of $150 is set.
Cardholders with multiple Blue accounts can obtain an RFID key fob for each one.
Ensuring Security
With wireless technology comes the need for robust security. American Express assures users that the Blue card is secure, employing advanced data encryption similar to that used in U.S. passports. Blue cardholders enjoy protection against fraudulent activities and theft, like all American Express customers.
A Modern Choice
The sleek design and cutting-edge features of the Blue card have made it popular among young adults, establishing American Express as a leader in credit card innovation.
American Express Blue stands not only as a versatile financial tool but also as a symbol of modernity and ease, setting a high standard in the credit card industry.
