GETTING IN FINANCIAL SHAPE IS ON MANY PEOPLE'S MINDS. IF YOU'RE THINKING THAT IT'S TIME TO GET MORE FINANCIALLY FIT, ONE QUESTION THAT YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF IS, "WHAT CARD AM I CARRYING IN MY WALLET?" ACCORDING TO AMERICAN EXPRESS, NOT ALL CARDS ARE CREATED EQUAL. IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO DO SOME COMPARISON-SHOPPING, IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE BEST CARD FOR YOUR SPENDING HABITS. FOR EXAMPLE, CONSIDER THINGS LIKE THE CARD'S A-P-R, WHETHER A CARD HAS AN ANNUAL FEE OR NOT, AND WHETHER YOU FIND VALUE IN THE BENEFITS AND REWARDS PROGRAMS THAT THE CARD OFFERS. WITH SO MANY CARDS TO CHOOSE FROM, HOW CAN CONSUMERS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT REWARDS AND BENEFITS ARE OFFERED BY EACH? IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK, YOU'LL FIND THAT SOME CARD COMPANIES OFFER CONSUMERS MANY EXTRAS THAT CREATE ADDED VALUE FOR THE CARD-HOLDER. THESE EXTRAS INCLUDE ACCESS TO SPECIAL EVENTS , PURCHASE PROTECTION, TRAVEL INSURANCE, AND REWARDS. THE "BLUE CASH CARD" FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS ALLOWS YOU TO EARN UP TO FIVE-PERCENT CASH-BACK ON PURCHASES--WITH NO ANNUAL FEE, AND WITH THE FLEXIBILITY TO PAY OVER TIME. TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARD FOR YOU, VISIT "AMERICAN-EXPRESS"-DOT-COM.
