American Express Red Card Launch

TD Nick · 14-03-06

The New Red Credit Card from American Express has launched!

TradeDoubler are delighted to announce the launch of the new Red Credit Card on the TradeDoubler program. Commissions will be £25 for each approved card. The red card is part of a Global Economic Initiative aimed at fighting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

How REDmoney works:
Every time you spend you do the (RED) thing. And to keep things super simple the donation that goes to support (RED) is called REDmoney. Here's how it works: When you spend up to £5,000 in any year, we transfer 1% of that spend to Global Fund-financed programs in Africa which positively impact the lives of women and children affected by HIV/AIDS.

Over £5,000 of spend a year and we increase the REDmoney rate to 1.25% for the amount above the threshold. To get things moving we'll also give the Global Fund £5 of REDmoney when you use your Card in the first month.

Thanks for the update,

What card reference code does this card refer to within the TD 'apply page'

Also can anyone clarify what : CCGNGK is?

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your question. I can confirm that the code CCGNGK refers to the new Red Credit Card.

Many Thanks,

Tim Waddington

Issues with their app form when my friend applied:

1. Wouldn't accept an ampersand in the company name field for her employer. It didn't explain this, by the way - just kept saying there was an error in the company name. Trial and error discovered the cause, though many would just have given up.

2. In the company address fields, there weren't enough lines to enter the full address, so she entered two lines in one field, with a comma ("Acme House, Acme Road"). Again, generated an error in the form, also solved via trial and error.

Both would be well worth fixing.
