American Express Reviews & Info

Since their earliest days, American Express has strived to find new ways to enrich their customers’ lives, have their backs and provide their special brand of service, in ways both big and small. Even as their business transformed – from freight forwarding to travel to cards to innovative digital products and services – one thing has remained constant: Their unwavering commitment to earn their customers’ loyalty for the long haul. That standard of excellence guides them today. They promise to understand, respect and back their customers, and help them on their personal journeys. American Express is a leading global payments, network and travel company founded in 1850. Since its founding in 1850, American Express has conducted business according to several guiding principles that over the years have become inextricably linked with the company's brand, products, services and perhaps most notably its people.

My direct deposits are never consistent! I was told to call my employer. They said the notify the same time every two weeks and still have never received a deposit two days early! Their company always manages to take their fee on time! About to cancel after my check is deposited for the last time and just be done with it!!!!

Like most other people I have been a victim of fraud and American Express Serve is doing nothing about it. My question is why do the charges need to post before they are disputed? Once i realized my card had been cloned and used fraudulently on Feb 7 I called right away and all the charges were still pending. They told me they could not begin the dispute process until they posted! Why is there… read more

Signed up and agreed to pay the ludicrous annual fee because they offered 100k points. They ended up denying me the points for some total BS reason, but I still had to pay the fee. Plus, the benefits are not very good. "Free" stuff you don't need isn't such a great deal when you're paying through the nose for it. Stay far away!

My checks were all free until 2016ish, but I use them so rarely that I still have all of the free ones.

People out there lying about this card.
They hold your refunds for 7days.
They charge 2.50 for each atm transaction.
There’s no chip on the card so bank atm don’t accept it. And the so called free atm locations are, If accurate, Inconveniently located.
I’ve been with AMEX for over 6 years and nothing has gotten better.
The only plus, is getting your direct deposit early.

Don't do business with them. When you get a refund you have to wait up to 15 days. Let's say for example you do a Walmart return for 20 bucks it will go back to your account in 3 days and the minute it gets returned serve puts a hold on it for additional 7 days. So what ever money you get back from who ever serve puts it on review for 7 days. And… read more

Lounge access is supposedly one of the major benefits, right? Check out the reviews of Priority Pass lounges with an average of 1-2 stars. Priority Pass is a sneaky setup where they can post charges to your card without permission. Several times they "overcounted" my number of guests and charges appeared on my card a week later. No notification, no signature, not even a bill! Such a scam!

American Express doesn't provide customer protection. They are more interested in the vendor than the card holder. DO NOT RELY ON AMERICAN EXPRESS FOR TRAVEL - this is a false assumption.

The card was supposed to be for cash back; however, I was switched to their "reward points" program. Even though I have very good credit, they started me off with a low credit limit and they won't consider any higher limit. Since they are not widely accepted, I will probably not use this one much. I pretty much wasted an inquiry "ding" to my credit profile.

Step outside the US and this card is worthless. No one accepts it, even in Canada.

Very easy to get slapped with their late fee of $39....no "payment due" alerts.

Their argument is that for most charges, there's this additional grace period until the end of billing cycle. However, the late fees get charged on typically the charges that are occurring just before the end of billing cycle - so the grace period doesn't apply… read more

Customer service is a joke (which seems crazy to me because I always felt like Amex was thought to have better service). Agents are poorly trained and not empowered to actually do anything. Responses vary for the same factual information between agents (5- days, then 10-14 days... same question asked 24 hours apart!). Sanctioned company responses include blaming it on partners (like ticketmaster). Technology is apparently sadly inferior... can't cobrowse or accept attachments in chat...… read more
