Review of the American Express, American Express Credit Card:

Poor Customer Service and Mismanagement

*Subject: Poor Customer Service and Mismanagement – Consider Switching to Visa or Mastercard** I am extremely disappointed with the service I’ve received from American Express. Despite requesting multiple times to change my debit date from the end of the month to mid-month, nothing was ever done. Each request was ignored or mishandled. On top of that, I was advised to transfer funds to lower my balance, which I did, only to find that Amex still charged me the full amount without considering my credit. The credit was rolled over to the next month, which was not helpful. I asked for the credit to be refunded to my bank account and was assured it would be. After waiting over 25 days, nothing happened. When I followed up, I was told the system had canceled the request, despite receiving multiple confirmations that the money would arrive by a specific date. Adding to the frustration, I was informed I could withdraw money from an ATM. I even calculated my withdrawal limit with one of the agents. But when I went to the ATM, I received a message saying, “Please contact your bank.” Upon contacting Amex again, I was told I’m not allowed to withdraw until one year has passed, something that was never mentioned before. The level of miscommunication, poor customer service, and repeated failures to follow through are unacceptable. I expected far better from a company like Amex. If you are considering a credit card, I strongly suggest running away from Amex and transitioning to Visa or Mastercard. Their services and customer care are far more reliable, and you won’t have to endure the endless frustrations I’ve encountered with Amex. Reviewed on: 6th September 2024

Free reward offers included!

Needed a simple card to keep an eye on my spending during a 3 week trip. This ticked all the boxes and more offers are available as time goes on (got good cashback on easyjet holidays and paid immediately!) Reviewed on: 30th January 2023

Brillant provider Crrdit cards

Great American Express, easy app and very good customer service Reviewed on: 16th January 2023

Terrible company that doesn't care

American express are a company that doesn't care about their customers. They do not read customers communications and they do not communicate. I would highly recommend staying away from the brand. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Platinum Cashback card

Nice to have a cashback card with no annual fee, supplemented with further offers and the Shop Small campaign. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Well it's amex

App is quite good. Plenty of schemes and offers. Only issue is being AMEX it can't be used everywhere. Reviewed on: 26th February 2022

It's so much good that you will stop using any other cards.

The best thing about having AMEX is that you never wait several minutes to connect to the customer service team. The max time I have ever waited is like 2-3minutes. Issues are solved on the spot no waiting or call later kind of silly responses. Customer agent knows that he/she is doing or needs to do. Reviewed on: 27th January 2022
