Review of the American Express, American Express Credit Card:

Customer service level of zero

I received my British Airways American Express card and set up a direct debit to pay off the full sum when it became due. Amex did not take the funds when they were due and subsequently sent me a letter advising they were charging me interest and a surcharge and threatened further action. I telephoned and they apologised for their error but advised they were not able to remove the interest from my account. I cancelled the card which required over thirty minutes on the telephone with an unhelpful person the other end. I also paid the balance. They then refunded the card fee. A month or so later they advised I owed them £16.44 but no reason given as to why. Despite two letter from me they continue threatening action. I shall write to Hannah Lewis who is their CEO I the UK. My advice is do not get an American Express Card, especially as nobody wants to take anyway. Reviewed on: 17th September 2024

Quality with rewards

Amex is a breeze. I get cashback, rewards, and easy transactions. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Great card, would recommend

Unlimited expenditure available, discounts available, regular updates and communication from company. would always recommend Reviewed on: 12th June 2020

Expressive

With Amex, I was able to afford those extra little luxuries and simultaneously earn Airmiles for travel. Sensible limit and good APR. The only downfall is sometimes these particular cards aren't accepted in some places. Reviewed on: 28th May 2020

My default credit card

I have had an American express rewards card for over 10 years. It is free and I get triple points on Supermarket shopping and standard points on all my other purchases - these come in handy at Christmas time Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Great all rounder

Great all round card. Cash back for buying everyday items with an absolutely outstanding customer service team. Whenever had to call they have been polite, prompt and efficient. I trust them completely. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Top-tier Service

Unbeatable, love and definitely have faith in AMEX. Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Outstanding

American Express customers service is on the ball very helpful and they sort problems straight away plus it doesn’t take forever to answer your call because they are open 24/7. All the information is always up to date and the service is simply the best if they had a bank account I would join straight away Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple to sign up and use great for an oldie with easy password retrieval

I have held my American Express card for some years now. Originally I signed up for cash back, but I have stuck with AE because the customer service is really good and the card is easy to use. Also if it's been a while since I have used it, pin number retrieval is quick and simple. Reviewed on: 9th June 2019

Good card

Nice card, reward scheme good. not widely acceptable though Reviewed on: 5th June 2019
