Review of the American Express, Credit Card:

Customer Service as it should be

The offer cashback , fantastic offers and if anything goes wrong give a second to none. Reviewed on: 19th February 2016

great cashback and great service

really fantastic company to have on your side. the cashback rates are the best on the market, they have regular offers such as shopsmall (with £5 cashback on a £10 spend!) and are accepted at a lot more places than i'd have imagined. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Excellent service, good way of collecting Avios

I got the American Express british airways card mainly for the sign up bonus with avios, but I will keep the card, it is accepted all over the world, in fact in other countries even better than in the uk. The avios they gave me paid for a flight to the states so no complaints. I had a problem early on with a disputed charge, but they cleared it up in 24 hours by email. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Great card and benefits

I have the Amex platinum card with no annual fee. It's contact less and can be added to apple pay also. You can earn 5% cash back on upto £2000 spend in first three months and there are regular offers on the app which you can add to your card ie £10 off £30 spend at xx retailer. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Always amazing service

American Express is always providing consistently good customer service and they are there to help you with your queries especially if you are travelling abroad and have to use your card in other countries - they are very quick to resolve problems and their fraud system is flawless.

Love Amex!

Amex is always super helpful and eases any worries I have when travelling or purchasing things I'm unsure about. Our bags were delayed once on Christmas Eve and Amex covered us for the evening, allowing us to purchase outfits for dinner. Brilliant service. Reviewed on: 26th February 2016

5* service :-)

I needed to change an address and request a replacement card. The phone was picked-up well within 30 sec of me ringing-up, and both requests were done quickly a very friendly American Express agent. Reviewed on: 12th January 2016

American Express Cashback Card

I'm just a month shy of a year of using this card and I love it. I opened the card to take advantage of the 5% cashback for three months and this got my cashback off to a flying start. I've only ever had to call customer service once and they were very knowledgeable, understanding and efficient. Online banking is brilliant, does everything you need it to, it even shows pending transactions pretty much immediately so you know what to expect. I log on about once a week to check out the spending offers - they've had some brilliant ones that I've taken advantage of including statement credit for Amazon and the Post Office. I've only ever had two instances when AMEX wasn't accepted and this was at a local hairdressers and IKEA, other than that, it's a lot more widely accepted than people think! A brilliant card with great cashback and offers. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

great card for all you need

I appreciate the great customer service from american express and in particular the friendliness and overall attitude of the team. I've had need to call them a few times over the last year, and they've also tried to help me as quickly, efficiently as possible and in a friendly manner. they are very good and helpful and always a pleasure to deal with Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Not accepted at all retailers

just moved to free credit card from American Express to benefit from the £100 Nectar points offer but slightly disappointed to see card not accepted at:KFC,Burger King,GBK,etc Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Lots of great spending incentives

If you want an unexpected treat or an incentive to spend that also allows you to save, then get an Amex credit card. Amex do many great cashback offers throughout the year for high street shops but also do a shop small event at the end of every year where you get £5 back if you spend £10 or over. The only disadvantages are that not all shops accept amex and some of their offers aren't universally available. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015
