The red credit card that contributes to the Global Fund’s fight to cure Aids and prevent future outbreaks of HIV and Aids, the American Express Red contributes 1% of total spending to the Global Fund. Your first purchase, when made within a month of opening your American Express Red account gives £5 to the Global Fund. When your card spending has reached £5,000, the REDmoney given to the Global Fund automatically increases to 1.25%. Your everyday spending helps raise money for a worthwhile cause.
So why the color red? American Express is joining U2’s Bono and Bobby Shriver, the chaimain of Debt, AIDS, Trade Africa organization. They call it “RED”. Companies who join in the RED initiative create products that consumers want to buy, and they can feel good doing so because they know a percentage of the money they spend on these products and services is given to fight AIDS and find a cure.
The American Express Red gives you discounts at certain merchants and hotels, as well as all the benefits you expect from a credit card issued through American Express. Purchase protection, additional cards at no fee, online account access and exceptional customer service. A very low 12.9% APR on purchases and a lifelong no annual fee make this card a quality, every day purchasing card.
