That&#8217;s a serious question.  Because if the answer is yes, I have an offer for you.  It&#8217;s not a fabulous offer, but it&#8217;s OK.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&#8217;s the deal: my main card is the American Express Blue Cash Back.  I got an email that offers me $25 if I refer someone else to the card, as well as giving the new applicant a $25 credit as well after their first purchase.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you are looking for a new credit card (or an extra one), let me give a brief overview of the card itself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s a cash back card.  Initially, it&#8217;s 0.5% on all purchases with 1% back on &#8220;everyday&#8221; purchases such as gas and groceries.  After $6,500 on purchases within 12 months, those get bumped up to 1.25% and 5% respectively.\n<li>It&#8217;s an American Express card, so it won&#8217;t be accepted as many places as Visa or Mastercard.\n<li>I personally have always had pretty good customer service from the company, including my recent Xbox 360 extended warranty.  They&#8217;ve also responded pretty well when any potential fraud charges showed up.\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, no pressure.  I&#8217;m not even completely aware of what the APRs are like because I don&#8217;t carry a balance on the card from month to month.  I also realize that in this economic climate, <i>another<\/i> credit card might be the last thing you need.  But &#8211; if you&#8217;re looking for a decent cash back card and wouldn&#8217;t mind a $25 credit to go with it, shoot me a quick email (or comment) and I&#8217;ll send you a referral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello friends and family.
