The Blue from American Express has never, to my knowledge, offered 5% cash back. That is the Blue Cash from American Express. The Blue from Amex, which I got also when I was 18, offered me 0% APR on purchases for 15 months. A low intro APR has always been the main attribute. I would like to see a better rewards program for this product, but I would recommend this card to anyone for their first credit card.

This was probably the very first credit card I got when I turned 18. Their advertised 5% cash back is somewhat misleading, and I don't think they explain clearly what the cashback really is. After a while, I got annoyed by it because you get the cashback once a year at the end of December. Also, too many places just don't accept AMEX cards, so I always had to carry another Visa or MasterCard as a backup. Eventually just stopped using it because I didn't want to deal with 2 credit bills every month.
