About American Express Green Card

Card Highlights

American Express Green Card is a Charge Card

With a charge card, there are no interest charges because you pay your balance in full each month. If you become eligible, you may be given the option to extend payment over time on certain charges using Amex’s Pay Over Time feature(s). If you use these features, you may accrue interest on any charges you choose to pay over time. But remember, this is 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.
