Card Highlights

American Express Plum Card is a Charge Card

With a charge card, there are no interest charges because if you pay your balance in full each month. The nice thing about this card is you have 60 days to pay versus the standard 30. I wouldn’t use this card to go over 60 days and pay interest as interest payments are not advised by me. The points game does not work well, if you are carrying a balance and accruing interest. See #4 in Let’s Get Started To Earning Free Travel.
