    AmEx platinum cashback card

    What's the catch? They claim to give you free money just for spending money. What's in it for them? especially if you pay off the balance every month.

    Is there a yearly fee?

      As I understand it, Amex charge the retailers the most for transactions placed through their cards.

        Only Platinum? cheapskate, get a black card!
        Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

          Yes, pay the £750 annual membership fee, and spend at least £100k on it a year and they lap you up.

            I worked with someone who has one he used to put all the server purchases for his business through it, soon got his 100k a year, pays dividends though he used to get treated like royalty at the airport.

              None that I can see - the only business cashback credit card with no annual fee - just got one myself.

                I got a Visa Business Gold card which gives me money back. I pay a yearly fee but if I spend more than €10,000 using it then I get money back. so far its paid for itself (might just be a German thing though as credit cards are slightly different here, more like debit cards.)
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  and a lot more than most other cards which is why hardly anyone takes Amex in the UK.

                    That's bollox. Not taking amex is a rarity nowadays - especially in big chains.
