American Express Platinum Card

Was going on trip to Ireland and trip was canceled. They would not refund my $8,000. I disputed the charge and lost and Amex sided with the company to keep my $8,000 and not provide the trip. Sounds crazy but that's what has happened. We were going with two other couple and their dispute was won even though the company fought it with the same documents as they used for us. The only difference they used Chase. Will be canceling all Amex cards and going with Chase.

I called Amex a few times today to stop them from processing two identical payment, knowing that the vendor did not process the payment (screenshot to prove this). They have no way of stopping these payment, and they wait for the vendor to withdraw them (or not). As such you have no control over your own account and are at the mercy of the vendor. This is terrible, and I lost all my trust in AmEx today. They don't deserve my business.

No recommend. I submitted a dispute for 4 tickets on the same time. They mailed me a letter indicate that the deadline for the merchant to respond is May 18. The merchant didn’t respond and they refunded me the 4 tickets, however, on May 24 the merchant responded with the confirmation number for three tickets so American Express decided to rebill me back for one ticket. Without any proof after the deadline time. The mess happened by American Express because the first customer service didn’t.

If you call twice you will get a different answer. Card is expensive and you get lousy service. I find this is a scam. You don’t really get what the benefits say.. there is always an excuse not to give you what is advertised. Save your money and the headache. Not customer focused at all.

Been a customer for over 20 years. Several years ago they changed the available credit policy to an automated matrix model. It was a poor idea and they explain it by saying if you pay the balance off, you will have more available. Never been late ever and the limit is based on average spending but you can’t Siena more because the limit will not allow. Insane catch 22. Do not get one of their products ever. They used to be a good company but no more.

Beware if you are using an American Express credit card. American Express has changed their policies and will now side with the merchant even if it's a scam. I made a purchase that I thought was legit but it turned out to be a scam. I tried to cancel 30 minutes after I placed the order but they refused so I tried to dispute with American Express and lost. I called American Express and was told they now normally side with the merchant, so, if you think you were scammed and you used an American Express credit card then YOU WERE SCAMMED and lost your money. My American Express account is now closed.

I wish I could give them negative 1,000,000 stars. This is the second worst credit card experience I have had since I canceled my Citi card like 8 years ago which was a nightmare. This company has even worse service than Citi. Here's my story: My dad passed about a year ago and I needed to fly home for a while. On my way back, I was checking out Delta flights and there was a promotion, Amex card, buy x dollar amount before y time and you get a $200 statement credit and 60,000 miles. Was easy to hit the minimum with my flight home and a couple of purchases.

Tried & tried -- online and on hold -- to contact an AMEX Platinum Card representative. Always busy. Always told to try again later. Not a good way to treat Platinum Card Holders. Worth the money? You tell me. Hoping to wait (and wait) once again for the service I already paid for. I hoped that Platinum Card holders might be treated a little better. Guess I was wrong.

Without my knowledge or reasonable clear communication American Express increased by interest rate from the the low twenties to 23.99% or 24.99% which they describe as a "Penalty APR" for not making the minimum payment of under $161.89 on October 11th 2019 when I made a total payment of $1687.05 during October 2019 paying $745.79 on October 15th and $941.26 on October 29th. So for almost 7 months I was not properly notified despite paying over 10 times the minimum balance during October 2019 that my interest rate was significantly increased to their "Penalty APR".

I made a fairly large purchase using my American Express. I never got the item and the company said they received the item back and they were going to credit my account. I don't know what happened but the money was never refunded. I contacted American Express twice and both times they tell me the items were delivered and won't even look at the e-mails I have from the other company stating they got the item back and were supposed to refund the money. So because American Express can't be bothered to read a few e-mails I'm stuck paying over $3,000 for something I never received. I highly recommend you stay away from this company.
