REVIEW:

The TrueEarnings® Card from Costco and American Express is designed for Costco members who have average credit and plan to take advantage of the cash back reward program.

The cash rebate amount varies according to where the cardholder makes the purchase; 1% is earned on general purchases, 2% is earned for travel-related purchases, and 3% is earned for restaurant and gasoline purchases. There is no limit to the amount of cash rebates that can be earned.

In addition to the cash rebates, the card does provide several benefits and services that are commonly found with American Express® credit cards, such as purchase protection, auto rental insurance, and travel accident insurance.

The card has an above average interest rate for purchases and balance transfers (for a reward card). There is no annual fee with a paid Costco membership. Cardholders can also take advantage of the 0% introductory offer on purchases for three months and the very low balance transfer offer for six months on balance transfers made within the first 30 days of membership.

Therefore, those who plan to spend at least $5,000 a year on the card and plan to pay in full each month after the introductory rate expires (to avoid finance charges) will benefit most from what the TrueEarnings® Card from Costco and American Express has to offer.
