American Express Company

No other credit card is quite as iconic as the American Express. More than 150 years old, American Express sets the standard for superior service in the credit card industry. The company's customer loyalty and its ability to attract new clientele are proven by its dominance in the market: AmEx surpasses both Visa and Mastercard, ranking highest among all card issuers for total dollar amount of credit card transactions in the U.S., roughly 24%. American Express is also the 30th component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Statistically, American Express cards products amount to about 24% of the overall volume of credit card spending in the US.

Longtime card holders include some of the world's most affluent movers and shakers. For example, only those with stellar credit and soaring incomes could afford the world's most sought after credit card, the invitation only American Express Centurion Card, commonly referred to as the "Black Card", which has a $5,000 activation fee and $2,500 annual fee. Despite the expensive cost, card holders are willing to pay more for AmEx's lavish rewards programs which include perks like unlimited credit limit, superior customer service (think 24-hour concierge service), and of course, the ultimate status symbol of wealth.

American Express also has cards for people just beginning to establish a credit history, like students or those trying to rebuild their credit score. Most cards come with excellent rewards programs that include bonuses like 3% cash back at supermarkets, 2% at gas stations and department stores, and 1% on all other purchases!
