2020 IMPACT

Steep declines in charge card transactions during the COVID-19 pandemic

Charge cards is set to record the steepest decline in value transactions among all financial cards during the COVID-19 epidemic, with only cash registering a weaker performance. Although personal charge cards are popular among wealthier individuals who appreciate the flexibility of no set spending limits, they generally do not offer extended payment terms and the balance must be paid off in full each month.

American Express Co offers greater flexibility to clients

American Express Co is supporting its clients through the COVID-19 epidemic by offering short-term financial assistance and payment flexibility for consumers and small business cardmembers during 2020. It is also offering greater benefits through its Membership Rewards programme with temporary enhancements to its redemption rates for non-travel purchases.

Players reinforce non-travel awards

Many charge cards provide premium travel rewards, which is one the main attractions to individuals and businesses for these cards. However, given the strict travel restrictions across the globe, these rewards have become less attractive during the COVID-19 epidemic.
