American Express

I applied for an American Express CC mostly to get first in line privileges for concerts. They initially gave me a credit limit of $3500. My credit rating slowly improved to 772 and they upped my limit to $7000. Then I made some purchases and added another credit card and car loan which dropped my credit rating to 752 due to a couple of inquires on my report .

Still damn good but out of the blue Amex drops my credit limit to $3000. I'm so insulted because I have never missed a payment on any of my cards. So I pay off my account and ask for my rewards to be paid out.

They say I must keep my account open until September to receive my rewards. So with a zero balance I wait. Then in the last week of July they inform me my card has been cancelled for lack of use.

I ask them not to cancel…

Wayne Hilton a supervisor in the flight department was extremely rude. We've been members for over 20 years and have never complained before... Wayne raised his voice to me and would not assist me with the purchase of a ticket for one of our employees...

Again, I've never had such a horrible experience before we are so disappointed with this American Express representative!

We have been with Amex for many tears and have always paid our accounts on time. When we started experiencing some financial hardship problems due to family issues there was 0 compassion nor would they work with us to try and get our accounts under control.

As we tried multiple times to get help we usually spoke with someone in another country of which we could barley understand and they cared even less, they were arrogant and had no solutions to offer just double talk. My wife and I have discussed this and at this time it will be unlikely we would use your cards again or recommend Amex.

We opened an American Express Delta Skymiles account that promised 75,000 skymile points after spending $3000 in the first three months. We are trying to book a vacation in October so we quickly began spending the money on this account.

I called in to American Express when I received the card and was told that the points would post to my skymiles account 72 hours AFTER the closing statement date at which I met my spending requirements were met. I then planned to spend the money by the July 25 statement closing date in order to receive the points in time to book this travel.

One representative told me 6-8 weeks after the statement date, one representative told me 6-8 weeks after the spending was met regardless of the closing date and the last representative told me 8-12 weeks. NONE of…

I have been trying since March 2019 to straighten out an account that was closed February 2019. It has turned out to be a very unpleasant experience. Many phone calls different agents with different opinions with each call. Refusing to send an itemized bill to the original account opening address which is Box 146 W. Milford, NJ 07480.

Would send only to our Arizona address which is used only a couple of months or year. That address is 15042 Windy Hill fountain Hills Arizona 85268. Then would not give me a Pay off amount because of the account being in my wife’s name.

I would think you would be happy to have a bill paid regardless of who pays it. 34 of which I paid in July 2019. I then received an email thanking me for my payment and two days later I received a phone call from Amax…

I am a independent advisor and have contacted Amex more than 15 times together with a Brazilian client who is trying to reinstate her card since March 2019! The saga started in February when her husband passed away and was the primary holder of the card ( she was the second card holder).

we contacted Amex to inform about his death and ask to reinstate the card. After various calls with many customer services who every time will give a different information she decided to cancel the card and issue a new one and loose all the point earned for more than 20 years.

when she received the new card we called Amex to activate and it was told we should not activate the new card but reinstate the old one and maintain the points. So in MAy 5th we started or tried to start the process.

SInce then we…

I was on a phone call with an AMEX rep who worked with me for a lengthy amount of time to fill out an application for your Cash Magnet card. Unfortunately, we lost our phone connection just when the rep asked me for my verbal approval (which I had already give beforehand) to file the application,.

I was expecting a callback but got none. Calling back on my own, I was informed that I had to go through the lengthy application process again, which is not only ridiculous, but an unwelcomed imposition on me. If anyone there cares about an upset 44 year customer, please call me at 614-499-8204.

If not, I will consider cancelling my AMEX card.

My available credit was reduced when I did not ask for a reduction after spending years with you and paying on time. You have betrayed a faithful customer therefore I’m making huge payments for now on and closing my American Express accounts.

You should rethink doing this to Someone else. If restored I might reconsider. I just Bought a new house and new car of course my credit score will go down. I’ve been making huge lump sums in payments to all of my accounts.

I definitely feel violated by you!

Truly awful lack of service in every regard.

The lady in accounts said this was fine and she said i will send you a new statement and log this on your account. On Saturday 15th June i had a telephone call at home from a Mr Stephen shaker who i found quite rude and he was more or less demanding payment and said i should pay it on another card which i really did not want to do but

felt like i had to. I found the whole thing quite upsetting and had to telephone my daughter caroline because i was so upset, who in turn called Mr Shaker and told him what she thought, she was very cross because i have been with american express for many years and have always paid.…

I purchased a gift card for a team member back in May. The card could not be activated. I reached out several times for over a month without a response or assistance. I was asked to send in the receipt, a picture of the card, and my drivers license. I did.

I was told I would receive follow up and never have. Fast forward to 7 weeks later, I still have not received a replacement card or follow up from anyone! Everytime I call, I am transferred to a gift card department which does not answer the phone. This is beyond ridiculous.

I signed up for a Delta Gold Card in the middle of May. Two days ago, I received another offer for a Delta Gold Card that was BETTER than the one I signed up for. I contacted customer service. I was promised a return phone call from a supervisor within 24 hours. I never received a call. I want the bettter offer.

I was mislead by AMEX. I signed up for the 75,000 SPG promotion and I was denied after I used it for 4 months and after I complied with all requirements for the 75,000.

I am deeply disappointed in AMEX. This is a first experience where I felt mislead by American Express. I feel as though AMEX has received all my payments in full including my $450 annual fee. Now, AMEX is in a profitable position to deny the little man. Yes, I am a simple Arizona School Teacher. I am not interested in the benefits that come along with this card. Only, the 75,000 points.

I believe your customers deserve to be honored with truth, honesty & evident transparency. You now have a customer who is deeply disenfranchised and clearly disappointed with AMEX. I am simply asking AMEX to honor 75,000 points promotion…

This is to bring your attention to some of the flawed processes that I noticed.

I always wanted to have a Amex card so for the first time I applied for one through Delta SkyMile Program and it got "Approved" and when the approval page was showing me the Card Number and all, one notification was flashing on my screen from Delta that was saying my "Session" about to expire and so mistakenly I clicked Log out and the Screen was gone.

So I called Amex customer service to help me as I needed that very first Amex card to book my flight.

but after a long discussion, I got to know I can't do it as they don't have any access to the card number.

So I told the customer executive that what if I cancel the card and reapply for it. He said I will not get the welcome rewards points.

At this point, I…

I applied an American Express Platinum card for my business two weeks ago online. At the end of the process, I wanted to add one additional card holder but the system had a technical problem. I phoned in to complete the additional card process.

At that time I did not have the additional card person's SSI. Customer service told me that will not be a problem. Once the card is issued, when he call in to activate the card he can also provide his SSI information.

The additional card will take 7 - 10 business days to arrive. I waited until yesterday, additional card did not arrived. I called and found the card was not process due to SSI information was missing. I was on the phone for 45 mins while she was going back and forth with other department to finally process the card without SSI.…

I requested a delta gold skymiles card. It never arrived. I checked online and it wasn't linked to my account. Tried calling. Had trouble getting through. Decided to wait and it slipped my mind that I had ordered it. On the phone with Nikki (#1259109).

She said that she couldn't guarantee that I would still be eligible for the bonus points but she would send me the card. I'm not interested in opening a new credit card without being eligible for the points.

Also I am a platinum AMEX card holder and would have at least appreciated her attempting to help resolve the situation rather than give me 2 options: cancel the gold card, or issue a new one via FEDEX and just "wait" 6-8 weeks for someone to review to see if I can get the bonus points.

She was not interested in helping and it's very…

Good Evening,

I'm writing because I an very disappointing in the service I have received thus far regarding an ongoing issue. Overall I have been pleased with my services but I have not been receiving benefits that were promise when I opened my account. I was told that I would receive 2 companion tickets each year. My husband and I are Army Veterans and my spouse was still Active duty when we opened the account in 2015. We currently have 8 companion tickets that we were never issued. Amex had us contact Delta who apparently never issued the certificates on my account, which still do no show on my account to this day. When I spoke to Delta they stated that AMEX did not do their part. I'm not sure who is ultimately responsible. But I know whom I pay monthly and its AMEX. All I request is…

Why are there no lounges at Chicago ohare airport No priority lounges either. RIDICULOUS. Only ones are in terminal 5 international. This is second biggest airport in USA I’m a platinum member and very unhappy

My mother was the primary account holder for American Express card #3772 690581 01045 in which I was an authorized user on the account. On December 2, 2018, my mother passed. There was an outstanding balance on the account of approximately $7,000.

Upon contacting American Express to notify them of my mother's passing, I was told that a copy of the death certificate would need to be provided. 00 and having the card and responsibility to be changed over from Martha Miller (the deceased) to Marcia Miller.

I was advised a soft credit check would be ran in order to qualify the account to be placed on my name. I was assured that the $378 payment would be immediately refunded if the credit application was denied. On January 31, 2019 I made the minimum payment of $378.

A couple days later I was…

When I changed my email address a few years ago, I made sure I changed ALL email correspondence with the businesses I have accounts. my correct email was visible but for some reason, my payment reminder went to my old, unmonitored email.

I received a letter from a business, of whom I gave my AMEX card to make auto withdraws, that my account was past due. I was confused so I called Macy's/AmEx. The rep. told me the email change did not take effect on their end (it was on my end).

So, she changed my email to the correct one and told her to take my (late) payment from the bank on file. This was on April 15th. The NEXT day, April 16th, I received an email on my old account (I usually make sure people do what they say they did), not my new account!!

I waited a few days, monitoring my bank…

When I went to use my gift card from American Express, the restaurant could only use a portion of it. 00 We tried to use it at another restaurant and they could not get it to register, and they did accept American Express cards.

00 Again, we took it to a restaurant, but was told that it would not register the balance. It appears that there is some kind of scam going on here. We have not had any other issues with other gift cards.

I recommend that no one buys an American Express gift card!

31 year customer here, and I am cancelling both my Am EXp cards due to poor customer service. It is all over seas and this company no longer cares about service they give to customers. SAD.

Seeing how many other one-star reports there are here, I'm not sure what good this will do, but here goes.

After paying off a bunch of debt and finally getting my credit score high enough, I applied for an AmEx card because of the entertainment benefits available to cardholders (better seating, presales, etc.). I was given the option to get temporary details for the card in case I wanted to use it for purchases before the physical card arrived. I noted the details, thinking I might need them for any kind of access to the account prior to receiving the physical card.

I set up my online account yesterday and received an e-mail today asking me to verify the number I'm to receive text alerts at. When I clicked on the link in the e-mail, it took me to the main page and told me I needed to…

ONE OF THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN WORD. REPRESENTATIVE SAY SOME THING ELSE AND DO SOMETHING ELSE. ONCE YOU FILE THE COMPLAINT. THEY EXPECT YOU TO KNOW THE OUTCOME . NO COMMUNICATION FROM THEM. THEY CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH YOU VIA EMAIL/MAIL OR PHONE.

I have an American Express serve card. I transferred $400 from the reserve to the checking account, and when I went to go withdraw the money , my transaction was declined. $75 decline fee. When I went back into my account, to see why it kept declining, the $400 was completely gone.

When I called customer service, I explained what happened, and the rep was no help, and I was transferred. When I spoke to next person I was told that on their end it says the money was dispensed, I then explained to her that it could not have said that because the first transaction was immediately declined.

She repeated that it says that the the money was dispensed, she also told me that it would take up to 45 days for me to get my money back, and that upset me, because this was my child care money. She also…

I am receiving calls daily , up to three times a day at times , with the caller ID saying---- American Express, with the number 623-492-7140 on my caller ID. I would request someone call this number and verify it is your company AND/OR tell whoever it is to stop unwanted robo calls.

I will report this number if this continues. I will never return unsolicited calls and they are disruptive to members of my family who are quite ill. The calls are coming to the Billerica ,Massachusetts area. Thank you.

Had identity theft. Filed a police report and know who the perpetrator was, who admitted to the crime. After contacting them 10 separate occasions and telling me my name would be cleared, Amex still has not done so after 6 months.

To whom it may concern,

I had a dispute on my card in the amount of $49.99 ,They recommend to stop the card .The night mare start when I was asking for a replacement card. I am out of the country for some times in middle east ( Lebanon ,biuret )

I use the card all the times while I am out of the country.

I made at least 15 if not more for a follow up on the statues ,But they keep saying they will call me back. I did update my personal information ,simply they said they only call on the numbers in my record.

one agent her name is Diane id# KMNB190 ,she felt sorry and was trying hard to slove the issue. She send me an e-mail ( urgent request information ) she asked to send a copy of driver licensed ,then to call for a follow up ,then AX will ask for an address to send the new repacement…

I called regarding my credit line since not having used the card in some time and my line was lowered. I could not speak to anyone in the United States and do not trust the person who would not tell me where he was located. With all the fraud going on today not being able to contact anyone from the USA is extremely disturbing. At this point, I tried to go online. Your site is so complicated I just gave up. Do not have faith in American Express as I once did after this experience. Not sure if anyone else has had the same problem but I would like to speak to someone in English right here in this country.

I was overcharged about $180 for Justin Timberlake’s concert on Feb 21, 2019 in San Diego. My seat was way up high in the arena-2 more rows it would hit the wall. I checked with people around me and they told me they paid between $50 and $80 for the same row where I was.

On top of that The American Express sent me an email they offered that one-day presale of the concert in Dec 2018. I assumed that presale offer should be special but not a deception. I was not able to enjoy what I had paid.

I am writing you today because you have not had the courtesy to respond to my letter to you of October 1, 2018. I find it unconscionable to ignore a customer who has a 43 year history with your company.

I am enclosing a copy of the letter and advising you that if I do not hear back from you by MARCH 15, 2019 that I will file a complaint with the Kentucky Attorney Generals Office as well as well as with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The ticket sales practices being implored by Membership Rewards and Ticketmaster are a blatant and egregious Fraud and Misrepresentation on the public at large and these practices must stop. com

To Whom It May Concern:

Customer service - what is it? I had a conversation with someone at American Express back on January 10, 2019. I was told during that conversation that my companion certificate would be available on February 6th, today. When I go in to book my trip on Delta I find no certificate available. I call Delta, they tell me to call American Express, I do that. Now I am being told that my certificate won't be available until March when I renew my plan with you. I specifically did NOT book in January because of the conversation in January. I have to book a flight on April 11th, now the tickets will be higher priced. I am also told there is no customer service to contact to give them my story, that he opened a case and it will be handled internally but I, the customer, will…

I was billed for an entire year for NETFLIX service and I was paying on another card for that same service. I only noticed it when they began billing me TWICE a month for the same service . The total was about $200.

in erroneous charges , but they will only own the last 3 charges. That is unacceptable and i have been a customer for more than 13 years.

Good Afternoon, I want to start off by saying I really love my American express card and have referred lots of family and friends to you guys. but today I am soooo disappointed. I have been on hold for 50 minutes twice without speaking to anyone after being transferred twice to this dispute department.

I only want to file a dispute for 2 transactions on my account that was charged double to my account. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I also called back to speak to a supervisor and the customer service rep said she was transferring me and instead she hung up.

I am a banker myself and I could never treat my customers the way I have been treated today.. I am asking that this issue is addressed please.

On Jan 16th, I received my advance tax refund. On that same day hackers accessed my account and spent $1100! I contacted the Amex Express serve fraud department right away. They told me I had to wait until the charges cleared before I could put in the dispute.

So, I waited till Jan 18th then opened a dispute for three charges totaling $1100! I noticed that the charges were all done in Florida! Did I mention that I live in Houston! The charges were done on the same day that I was shopping in Florida.

but I cannot be in two different states at the same time! I continued to call the fraud department during the 10day investigation period. At no point did they say that,there was documentation that proved it was me in Florida spending money at Walgreens and Publix.…

My nmae is WIlliam Jones, I do NOT have an account with your company, I have been getting voice mail calls from your company now for the past three months, the person leaving the voice mail is hard to understand but it seems they are looking for a person by the name of Julie James.

There is not person by that name and I do not know a person by that name. The phone number they are leaving the voice mail on is 706 405-4503. I have called the 800 number that they are leaving in the mail and I've let them know more than six times that I am not they person they are looking for and I'm tired of having to delete their voice mail, some times more than twice a week.

The number they are calling is only used for voice mail and never will a person answer that number. I would like these calls stopped…

I have 3 AMEX Cards. Customer for 20 years. Have automatic payment set up on two cards. Added the third card to automatic right after I got it. Then I got a notice that the payment was late. So I called and we re did the automatic payment because the AMEX work did not put it in.

At this point I was assured that it was all set and all good. There was no late charges and no collections or credit bureau contact or info that would go out. BUT shortly thereafter I was notified by credit bureaus that it did go to them.

I disputed it with credit bureaus on changed to and ruled in my favor but not the other and I also asked AMEX to remedy since it was based on incompetence or ineptness or lack of attention on their employees part on at least two instances. Nothing.

My credit is still excellent…

Called your 800 number to get a final pay off figure . 00 after I closed out the account for interest and penalties . I have been with American express for 19 years you lower my credit limit, charge me late fees for being late one month excuse me for having a heart attach , living alone, and not able to make the payment on time .

Called the customer service line and was told there was nothing that can be done . and for being a loyal customer I get sorry your screwed.. thank you very much American express!

80 and I would get my money back on Nov 26,18. I called Wed, Fri, and Monday and all the days I called I was told I would have my money back on Nov 26, 18. I spoke to someone today Nov 26,18 at 6am and was also told it would be back on my card by this afternoon.

When I checked again it was not on there so I called and was told that I would not be getting my money back and also that they never did the dispute this after for the past 4 days that I was told it would be back today. I set up to pay my light bill today based on what your company employees told me.

My son needs a machine to breathe so I can not be with out lights and because of your company and your employees lying to me over and over again I will be without lights and I still don't have my money back. You need to train your…

I have had my card for a few years now. And I’ve had somebody hack my account and take over $500 out of my account and send it to a William Lomax, I called customer service 4 times that day to have it resolved.

Got told there was nothing they could do, and that if I wanted a new card I had to pay $30 for it. But I wasn’t going to get my money back. And I needed to be more careful using my card at places.

Finally they said I would get a new card and I have to wait 2 weeks to get my money back. Since then I’ve had nothing but issues with my new card. It keeps saying it’s not authorized at several locations.

But my card keeps getting charged. Every time I call customer service I keep getting told that there is nothing that can be done. I have to wait 8 days for my money to be released.…

Hi American Express, I gave you 5 stars because I've been with you over 45 years with my parents and then with my business later and had nothing but great experiences with you where I was spending over $5000 a month, paying it of full within 7 months. It is not so much a complaint, but out of disappointment now that I'm starting my business again, and you are challenging my startup and not advancing me as before.

My spending isn't anything different than before except my growth has been faster due to your previous support which has helped me to make great cash deals which by Fed 2019 I will be dept free. I made a mistake and paid twice for one of my 6 Amex cards, one which was the scheduled payment of $181, and the $1800 full payment by mistake.

I asked for a refund of the $1800 Oct…

I placed an order on 10/11/18 for 47 gift cards. My order # was 000036206. I was told to reorder. I was given a promo code to waive the fees on a future order. I already had a promo code on this order to waive the fees.

I was told to use rush shipping on the new order and to call 1-833-205-8622 and they would waive my shipping cost. When I called Customer Service, the representative checked with someone else and said my order had not been cancelled and I would get it.

I called back a few days later and they insisted by order was processing. Still didn't receive anything. I called maybe 2 more times and a rep told me a case number should have been given so a representative from order management would call me.

(case # 1593403) Never got a call back. I called again. I wanted to speak with…

I applied for an American Express Blue Cash Everyday Card on Tuesday, October 30. On October 31, I wanted this card since I am planning some travel in Asia soon and felt the Amex card was more widely accepted. I received an email saying that my application was denied due to my having blocked my Experian credit file.

I immediately unfroze the credit file, and the application was continued. I have been receiving a status of "in process" when I in quire. I have called three times to determine the cause of the delay in approving my application (I have a very high credit rating and there should be no problem from that standpoint).

I first was told that there was an internal problem, unrelated to my creditworthiness. Then I was told that my application was under review to ensure my credit…

I was charged $6100+ twice for full payment of my account. On Oct 16th I paid it in full. Two attempts were made after that to charge my bank account again and my bank charge me a fee,which they have refunded.

I phone and reported the issue and I was told they would resolve the problem. Then on Oct 22nd I was charged again. I have a credit balance on my credit card. I phoned and after some deliberation, I felt like I was the one at fault, and the person I spoke to was not very professional.

I had to ask what to do and how to get my funds back and he reluctanty asked for my rounting number and account number for my bank and then told it would be 72 hours for my funds to be returned. I am not pleased.

It has been a week and no funds have been received. I have filed complaint with the…

) so cancelled and was promised a replacement card today. Did not receive and was basically given the run around when I called (3) times to try to get answers. I was finally told that I am getting the card Monday or Tuesday of next week - I told all representatives that we use the card for everything - and "next week" delivery date was unacceptable to me when I first reported it lost so

was promised next day delivery. I was told today of a "huge back up" but have no clue what that means? At any rate, I am usually very happy with everyone who helps me at AmEx whenever I need help - today was definitely not one of those days.

I kept asking the rep and his manager why I was not assigned a tracking number every time they said it might arrive today and they FINALLY admitted that it would not…

I am having an issue with a credit sent to our old expired costco Amex card. I do not have the number on the card anymore, however, a partial number was on file with the vendor (they claim only a partial number was needed to process the refund). Amex accepted the credit.

I have a copy of the transfer numbers and receipt of credit sent to costco amex. can you send me an email so I can forward all this information to you? The phone line for Amex is useless. I need Amex to mail me a refund or send the credit transaction back to the merchant and they will write me a check for refund. 46 Credit
