He's specifically asking about AmEx, which doesn't have a lot of those features, Onetime2.
Supposedly, an AmEx card has a certain cache, but I don't see it. The main benefit of it is that you are forced to pay it off each month. That's a benefit, as you don't carry a balance and don't pay some nasty finance charge. It makes you stay w/in your budget. And for such a nice annual fee, too! Oh joy!
IMHO, you can do that with a normal credit card, but you have to enforce it yourself. And you can find them with no annual fee, too. And if you pay it off each month, you don't care about the interest rate.
