Extremely disappointing chargeback and S75 experience My experience with American Express purchase protection has seriously reduced my confidence in the card. I paid £646 to a retailer for an order which... Read more Reviewed on: 7th August 2026

Referral links: failure to honour the use of a link

Referral links: you click on it and navigate to a dedicated landing page. It’s not the card you want, so where do you go to not break the link? Top left button or buttons in the footer of the landing page? Both take you to the same place to see other card options but my hunch is the links available in the footer don’t retain the referral link and break it - so why is this route possible on a landing page that offers the same thing at the top? Two ways of achieving the same thing shouldn’t exist - you break the link without knowing it. Complaints “the marketing team would know if there was an issue. The link wasn’t used (ie your fault) and I can’t test it myself to confirm your theory. Complaint closed and not honouring points.” Wonderful - I’m closing my account after 13 years of loyalty as a result of such poor handling and asserting I’m not capable of clicking a link. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2024

Dreadful card - no one accepts it

Dreadful card, no one accepts it hardly and for the one retailer that did I couldn’t use it as credit limit was too low and I couldn’t get it increased. A joke really! Reviewed on: 21st March 2024

Not too good at all.

Not too good at all. My card was cancelled without notice. Because I have not used for 3 months. Reviewed on: 10th February 2024

Bad contact

I am relatively new to Amex and was about to make my first repayment, only to be told it was late. I had no communication, no call, text or email beforehand. Very poor. Reviewed on: 31st January 2024
