Get your contactless credit card with Blue from American Express®! [1]

Contactless or RFID (radio frequency identification) credit cards are often referred to as "proximity" or "contactless" payments as well. Contactless payments are quickly sweeping the nation and for good reason. They allow you to quickly tap your card to the card terminal rather than swiping and signing like in the past. The credit card companies offer you all of the same protections and uou can be confident the technology offered is safe and fast. If you are confused about all of the offers, the major card Associations and issuers that are supporting contactless payments include:

- American Express with the ExpressPay offering through Amex Blue

- MasterCard "PayPass" can be found as both a debit and credit program with their major issuers

- Visa "Wave" will be found as both a debit and credit program with their major issuers as well.

But you will have to be patient to get your contactless card from your bank. Many of the banks are trying to figure it all out, and they are generally limiting the card to 'reissued cards'. That means you could be waiting a long time to get yours in the mail. Why wait, get yours today with Blue from American Express® Apply now! [2]
