Expert Review

The American Express Velocity Escape credit card is one of American Express' products. Featuring a competitive points earn rate which is uncapped, the card provides American Express's high quality service benefits. Further, the product has no annual fee, including up to 55 interest free days. Of the 200+ credit cards reviewed by Stay or Go, this card is one of only a limited number that offer an ongoing $0 Annual Fee.

Considering its key features, this card is most suitable to someone who wishes to be rewarded for their spend. Other benefits include no additional cardholder fees. Please note, that commonly in the Australian market, acceptance of American Express cards for payment in comparison to Visa and Mastercard isn’t as broad. Also, there is a greater level of merchant surcharging on American Express cards in comparison to Visa and Mastercard, noting that Visa and Mastercard can also attract surcharging by some merchants.
