I recently did a balance transfer to an American Express Blue credit card. I wanted to enjoy the benefit of 0% APR for 15 months. Hopefully in that time, I will pay off my outstanding balance and be credit card debt free.

Important Background Info - I have perhaps the most interesting address I’ve ever known. Not only does it include an apartment number, but it also includes a “1/2″ (one half). I’ve noticed, however, most of my mail comes through without the “1/2″ marking after the street address number.

To date, I’ve yet to actually receive my AXP (their abbreviation - not mine) card. The only statement I’ve received came to my work address, several days after the due date. Fortunately, the good folks at AXP’s customer service department have been nothing but friendly and understanding about this whole ordeal. After speaking with them tonight, I think I’ve cleared up the address issue, and they’re not going to penalize me for paying my March bill late.

While I don’t recommend getting yourself into any sort of debt, if you’re shopping for a balance transfer or a new credit card, I’d recommend American Express. They seem to be good people.
