Review of the American Express, American Express Credit Card:

Doesnt work , customer service is hit and miss

Have been holding 3 AMEX for last 10 years and lately their quality has gone down. First of all the card doesn't work in 60% of shops (outside of USA) which is a big issue. Its okay to still hold it but the premium benefits it needs to offer are lacklustre in the UK. Lastly, customer service can be very good or very rude or uninformed. I cancelled a card to get an upgrade and then said that I am not eligible though my income being 5 times the required. High levels of discrimination toward existing customers also, seems to have popped in their heads, especially against small business owners. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

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

AMEX

Quick to get a decision, excellent customer care once you have the perks. Reviewed on: 5th June 2019

Great Reward Credit Card

We changed our current credit card to the American Express card with cash back rewards. It gives a great introductory offer and then continues with cash back throughout which you can access at the end of the year! It will be great to have a sum of money for a treat! Reviewed on: 2nd June 2019

Amazing rewards & offers

Amex is straight fire. Only called once their service line once and they were outstanding. The app is super intuitive, it's very easy to browse offers and save them to your card for later use. Reviewed on: 21st December 2018
