Re: Schwab Investor Card® from American Express Approved!!

Awesome!!! Congrats on the card! I am considering the platinum version myself(travel pretty frequently). I'm curious as to how the investor card looks in person though.

Hi @Anonymous & Welcome To myFICO Forums!!!

 

The Investor card is nothing Fancy, The Platinum is Nicer in My Opinion.

I only Travel on Vacation about once per year. I Mostly Use Amex Hilton, WF Propel (with Visa Combo) and Chase.

(I could not Justify The AF for Platinum.)

 

I really only App'ed for The Amex Schwab card. because I was Pretty sure it would be SP, and a fairly decent SL.

According to a phone call to a Amex rep.

 

The Amex Investor Card is kinda Meh. Compared to The Schwab Platinum. IMHO

Re: Schwab Investor Card® from American Express Approved!!

I'm confused about the perceived value difference between these two cards.  If you deposit your MRs into your Schwab account you get 1.5 cents per point.  If you use the investor card you get 1.5% cash back deposited.  That seems like equal redemption with a huge difference in annual fee🤔

Re: Schwab Investor Card® from American Express Approved!!

You're right thanks!  I overestimated the value of the MR which is only cashed out at 1.25 cpp.
