Review of the American Express, Charge Card:

Excellent service and great rewards

5
I opened the american express account to get the bonus avios on offer. They have regular special offers throughout the year, the small shops offer this year was fantastic, lots of money back this year! If things go wrong they are always available over the phone, I changed my credit limit for a big purchase in about 5 minutes. Very happy with the service from AE. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

American Express Customer Services

5
As a UK customer who has held an American Express card for several years, I have always found their cardmember services to be excellent. The ability to contact customer support 24/7 is very helpful, whether you need assistance with payments, disputes, or any other account-related issues. I have always been able to reach a knowledgeable representative who can promptly resolve my issue. American Express clearly prides itself on providing superior customer service, and you can feel that commitment with every interaction. Representatives are professional, polite and strive to exceed your expectations. Even if they cannot resolve your issue on the initial call, they work diligently behind the scenes until a satisfactory solution is found. As someone living outside of the US, I particularly value the global reach and acceptance of American Express cards. Even when travelling abroad, I can count on their cardmember services to assist me with any issues that come up. Reviewed on: 1st July 2023

Closed my account for no reason after 5 years

2
This is not the way how a bank should treat their customers. Amex was good in the past and is still good but their customer service and back office which closed my account after 5 years and I never had a late payment or something like this. If I did something wrong in some way then Amex should contact me and tell me what I did wrong but after thinking about it several days I don’t know why they closed my account. I also have a good credit rating with mortgage and other credit cards etc. so I don’t get it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent card

Excellent card with a lot of benefits and a good spending limit so you never get supplies Reviewed on: 17th February 2023

First class customer service

5
I have been an American Express member for many years. Their customer service is outstanding. Real people to whom you can speak with rather than endless ‘options’ on the telephone none of which support your needs. Whilst many will think the fee is expensive I believe it is good value for the products provided. It is a pleasure dealing with Amex which cannot be said for many financial companies.

A FRIEND FOR LIFE

They have been their for me when I really needed help, not just in the UK, but when my mother was diagnosed with Cancer and I had to get my sister back from the USA. Thanks AMEX for a great 41yr; marriage. Reviewed on: 15th September 2021
