			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/AmEx-paying-card-holders-to-rb-14442536.html" target="_blank">Yahoo</a>, <a href="http://www.myawesomecard.com/card/list/issuer_code/AMEX">American Express</a> is paying a limited number of card holders to close their accounts.</p>
<p>AmEx card members might wonder if you are lucky enough to receive such an offer.  My take is: in order for you to be in that list, you need to scare AmEx to believing you are going to charge off your account, otherwise, they don&#8217;t worry about you, therefore won&#8217;t spend $300 to keep you away.</p>
<p>At least, American Express is doing this in a win-win strategy, minimizing their losses while keeping card holders who are on the brinks of charge off happy, from this perspective, AmEx is a brand of card worth to have.</p>
