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
