Card application process was very quick and fuss-free, took only a few days to get approval and receive the card. [Fee Waivers] Do note that the first year fees cannot be waived but it gives you access to all the perks like complimentary hotel stay and lounge access that comes with the card. Annual fee waiver in subsequent years would depend on your card activity and customer support can provide very prompt assistance!0

Their yearly offer of free lounge access and hotel stay makes this card value to get. Note you have to spend a certain amount to upgrade to this card.0

AMEX is a good example that price/benefits isn't everything. They are definitely not the cheapest for merchants. And their benefits are also not the top (but not too bad also). However, with their customer service - they have managed to win many loyal customers, as shown from the other reviews below. This has been my main spending card for several years already. If this changes, it will most likely be for another AMEX card.0

[Customer Service] In my 12+ years with Amex I cannot recall anything negative. Probably the best customer service in the financial industry and really a special service you get around the world. [Fee Waivers] Really pleased with American Express dealing with a chargeback against an online edutech company when they charged me a subscription that I did not agree to - AMEX customer service agent couldn't have been more helpful and the money was back in my account in a few days -excellent customer service [Cashback Card] I have just recently switched to AMEX True cashback card as Covid-19 has crippled the travel industry and it is more useful to get cashback upfront. Their welcome bonus of 3% cashback on up to a total of S$5,000 spend in the first 6 months is pretty sweet as well.0

Reason for 5 star, 1. The customer service is simply awesome. Never once they fail me, not about fee waiver but everything about it. Tip TOP customer service 2. They listen to you, understanding the current covid-19 situation and the competitive cards out there who don’t mandate annual fee as long as we are actively using. 3. Perks aren’t that bad. Considering no need to convert. Yes as a miles person we can go mix and match different card to get high mpd but after all we still need one card for all other purpose right ? In summary, I don’t work for AMEX neither I invested in the company. However, important this product is at market standard and they credit your miles directly without charges. Even if your transaction is a dollar , u still earn miles. Where other cards out there who only give u points for every $5 and 0 points for less $50

[Promotions and Perks] Upgraded my blue krisflyer card to ascend due to the 12000 sign up bonus + extra 10000 bonus for spending 10k in the first 3 months [Customer Service] Really good customer service!!! I've always had such a headache with other banks but first, there isn't those awful phone button thingy before connecting you to a human cs guy. They are super respectful, answers your questions, and expedited my card approval (immediately!!). Annual fee is $335, but for the bonus miles, and the impeccable customer service + free hotel and lounge stay, i must say this is an amazing card.0

Nowadays, i use AMEX card whenever possible because:- 1, They have the best customer service officer - short waiting time, happy voice and solve my problem fast 2. Their app has a lot of great offers specific to each AMEX card. 3. There are only few cards offer rewards for Grab Top Up and this card is one of them 4. Can earn miles for insurance, charity and utility bill payment which most cards excluded. With these reasons, I am gonna stick with them for as long as they are as good.0

Good for the sign up bonus (depending on the offer at the time) but beyond that no real benefits for me as I already get unlimited lounge access from other cards, and I never used the free Hilton night as only available for lower end hotels. Unfortunately the miles earn rate is also quite poor, surprisingly so for a co brand card. If they would just increase the mpd to a more reasonable rate and remove the silly limitation for the bonus FCY spend where it is only valid in June and December then it would be a much better card to keep long term.0

[Promotions and Perks] One of the best sign up bonus you can get for a miles card. Also, if you dine out quite a bit, AMEX networks of restaurants and hotels are a really big bonus. [Fee Waivers] Definitely can't get a fee waiver for this, not even on the first year. [Customer Service] AMEX customer service is the best, needless to say. [Miles Card] After the bonus ends, the earn rate is average though. [Hidden Terms] The complimentary insurance only applies if you book Singapore Airlines, so do take note if you plan to "offset" your annual travel insurance with the card's annual fee.0

Signed up for this card due to the attractive sign up bonus. However, it seems like the sign up bonus is getting more difficult to earn as the spend requirement increases. Love their automatic transfer to KrisFlyer account :)0
