AMEX used to be all the rage for some reason. They remind me of avocodo
colored stoves. Don't they still have some unavoiadable yearly fee - no
matter how long you've been a "member since"?

The traditional Green/Gold/Platimum have annual fees. Amex in order to
compete has added some other card services. My COSTCO Platinum Rewards
card is no annual fee plus it gives me some 1% cashback or something like
that.
