AMEX Green/Gold question

SteveUrkel — Wed, 04 Sep 2013 02:22:46 GMT

hi all, i was wondering, can you carry a balance in the gold charge card with a npsl? i was looking at the card details in the website and the green it says you have to pay in full each month but the gold doesnt.

You may be able to revolve a balance if the Gold card has the Pay Over Time feature. This feature allows you to revolve a balance. It is not available to all cardmembers, though. And the APR can be rather high. Some folks feel that this is a trap by Amex and that you shouldn't use this option. I have this feature and I used it once - it was the Sign & Travel option and I bought last minute airline tickets and took a few months to pay them off. This was about 17 years ago and no adverse action was ever taken against me by Amex. Of course, YMMV.

I have a recently opened PRG 2 weeks old last week I received a letter that says they will allow me the pay over time feature and that the limit on the pay over time portion is 35k at 15.24% anything over I have to pay at the end of the month. The reason I bring this up is even though I have the pay over time I would never use it because in my mind what would be the point of getting a Amex charge card if that was my intention I would of just apped for a revolver plus I hear that Amex frowns upon this practice.

I have other cards that I have of could app for that the lender would care less would I do with the balance as long as it's not late.

I think if that is your intention then you should just app for a revolver. JMHO

The whole point of an AMEX charge card is to pay in full each month.

That feature that allows you to carry a balance not only comes with a relatively high APR, some purchases may NOT qualify as a revolving balance. In my opinion I'd ap for the Delta AMEX gold/platinum if you don't have the disciplin or income to pay in full each month.
