You're going to find yourself in a deep hole if you don't stop charging things. "Don't buy from them" ?

They don't sell anything. It's a credit card.

Denial of assistance in platinum travel matter

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Had to cancel trip due to war in Israel/Gaza. Amex was worthlesss in trying to get refund or flight credit with airline.

To make it worse, it was IMPOSSIBLE to reach anyone in customer service with authority to assist.

Agents are idiots. English skill worse than a two year old

Bad experience

Ive been with American special for 30 years $50,000 a month to 100 hundred000 dollars a month sometimes $1 million a year paid in full loyalty for 30 years my invoice is due on the 20th. I paid it on the 20th but they did not post it till the 21st so they charged me $1000 interest, I called thinking that would be no problem getting this resolved and taking off my statement.

They wouldnt take it off they refused. I called many times. Supervisors still refused, so looks like Ill be ripping up my card.

Never use it again. Good way to treat your loyal customer, you guys suck.

Scammer

American Express - Scammer
Contains 2 confidential files for company representatives

So I did get scammed out of my money thinking I had a buyer on Poshmark and they told me to use an American Express card, so I gave them up $200/$500 in the gift cards and this is the money I didn't have to begin with because I had to borrow money from family members and so when I went to call customer service about this issue the lady said they couldn't do anything about it because the money was already taken from them.

Concern about fraud

I received a letter with the check for one dollar saying that youre correcting your mistake and refunding my account. I have not had an account with American Express for over 20 years so I would like to make certain that you still dont have me listed as the account nothing about this letter Makes sense

View full review

Preferred solution: Reassurance that I do not have an account with American Express. I’m concerned about getting a letter from American Express saying they’re correcting a mistake and getting a check for one dollar. None of that makes sense. Please talk to me.
