American Express Green Card

Dear All friends and Members
Good day to you All ,

I just applied for AMEX Green card in Dec and i received it in Early Jan 2019
Can anyone advise , how can i make best use of this Card ,
Please note , i travel often , Domestically in Japan ( Fukuoka to Tokyo and Vise Versa ) , and i have around 3 travels per Year international , as i am Export manager ,

Should i order Family card ?
Should i order Priority Pass ? ( Normally i travel with Economy class ) , Also i book like two flights per year for my wife

Actually i discovered that AMEX is not 100% accepted such as Visa or Mastercard
Do you think it will be good Idea if i Apply for Visa card ? ( I have post Bank account ) but i do not have Visa or Master card from Post bank

Do you think Post Bank is good option to ask them for Issue Visa Card for me ?

Please note , i am Egyptian and Residence in Japan ( This is my 2nd year Living in Japan )

Your answers are always appreciated and thanks for everyone

Wish you all great day full of Joy and Pleasure

As far as I know:
- Visa and MasterCard have wider acceptance than Amex in Japan. Amex acceptance is OK in the US, but not widely accepted in Europe.
- Their fee to the shops is generally higher compared to Visa or MasterCard. And since now you have the card, you know that Amex�fs annual fee must be higher than for Visa or MasterCard of the same class.
- People who travel a lot might benefit from Amex with things like: travel insurance (I believe the card comes with travel insurance even if you don�ft buy air tickets with it), probably airport lounge (depends on the exact card though), and some concierge service (hotel, restaurant, or golf links booking for example), quick lost & re-issuance service overseas (I heard).
I am not familiar with the exact services that come with it, so read the brochure that comes with it to find out about the benefits.

I have a AMEX card, but have not used it since Costco switched to VISA only.

If you do not have any VISA card, I think you should. As you wrote, VISA is more accepted than AMEX.

Plus, if you travel a lot (like I do) I encourage you to look for a card that does not charge foreign transaction fee. I (live in US) use Amazon VISA that does not charge annual fee and foreign transaction fee, and I don't travel without it. I read a while ago that Amazon was considering issuing similar card in Japan, but I don't know if that ever happened.
