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

Got a cash back card

Best credit card ever. Lot of offers along with the cash back. Also mega card limit Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

very affordable

I was very please to be served by American Express Reviewed on: 15th May 2017

Even all around

When i look for a credit card i usually aim at the drawbacks instead of the benefits, so since this card (the blue) has long 0% APR period in case you need some time to pay off a large purchase or transfer a balance. Which is totally great. other than that there is the cashback, an actual benefit, its 6% rate and a $6000 limit makes it really attractive to anyone, really. I must point out that my grocery bill is high and I do drive a few hundred miles every week, keep that in mind if you are considering this card. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2017
