American Express Reviews

The American Express British Airways Airmiles credit card. I applied for this credit card back in February this year through the cash back website Quidco - therefore earning a £35 cash incentive to do so. As this has just been paid to me today I thought that the time was right to write a review of my experience so far. I ...

The American Express Platinum credit card is a must have for anyone that spends money and can mange their finances to some degree. The biggest appeal of the card and my sole reason for applying for one was its cash back reward system. The Amex offers 5% cash back for the first three months up to a maximum of £2000 (£100 cash back). For the ...

I applied for the American Express platinum card because of the initial offer of the 5% cash back for the first three months after which it then goes to 1.5% if you spend a certain amount which is slightly better than a lot of the other cashback cards on the market at the moment, if you don't spend the guideline amount then the cashback drops to ...

i applied for the american express platinum card mainly being because of the initial offer of the 5% cash back for the first three months. after the three months it then goes to 1.5% which is alright when compared to other cashback cards on the market at the moment. I use my american express basically like a debit card and always always ...

I applied for an AMEX nectar card so that I could get extra nectar points every time I use it....This is a great facility to have as i can still earn nectar points even if i do my shopping at one of the other supermarkets. I must admit I was incentivised by the offer which was to be credited with 5,000 nectar bonus points when I spent £200 on the ...

Great card for initial offer, but read on for a major problem I have had! I signed up for online paying of statements, it states on the site that you can't make 2 payments to pay off your balance within 3 days. This was great to read when I stupidly couldn't remember if I had paid my balance off on 4th July when I looked 2 days later. ...

Well okay the cash back feature seems very attractive, IF it works. My bad experiences started when I noticed a significant shortage in my first year's cash back. There is a threshold of $6500 that afterwards your cash back rate becomes higher. i.e. if you spend more than $6500 you are supposed to receive 5% cash back on everyday purchases and ...

Since 1960s, the American Express card has been the preferred methods of payment for travel and entertainment expenses. The card is regarded as a status symbol by many as it indicates the cardmembers' purchasing power (and ability to pay back their bills in full + on time). Card acceptance varies from place to place, most high street retailers, ...

I got an American Express card because it was part of the Nectar Scheme. This card was to replace my Barclaycard when BarclayCard announced that their credit card would no longer be part of the scheme from September 2005. I applied for the card online and the form took about 15 minutes to complete. This was due to every page being ...

The AMEX Gold Card annual fee gets you the following features: 1) The Gold Card Travel Service offers assistance with booking holidays, flights or hotel accommodation. 2) The Flight Companions scheme offers a complimentary companion ticket when you book a Business or First Class ticket on selected airlines. 3) If you ...

First of all, I admit I'm totally against credit cards, as I suffer from over-spending at the best of times. So the reason I briefly owned an Amex is that I got a job with a corporation for a few months; they were closing most of their call centres in Europe, so I had to travel to them to learn more about the job. By the way, believe ...

We are on the threshold of becoming a fully joined up (eWorld) electronic World. Everyone is now aware of the Internet. There are almost as many mobile telephones in circulation as there are people in our country. We use credit cards for many of our day to day transactions. We are starting to become something of a cashless society trading in ...

Change to a american express platinum card recently after being loyal to my barclaycard for 5 years. Reasons for changing 1] American express give me 2% cash back on all my transactions. 2] The points systems of barclaycard is useless, over the past five years I had accumulated thousands of points which were of very little value ...

What is a Gold Charge Card? The gold charge card has no present spending limit (but is within some boundaries based on your initial indications to them and your spending habits) and the balance must be paid back in full. Other options include the cheaper Green and very expensive Platinum. Why? I chose one mainly ...

After years of knock backs from Amex (apparantly I was never good enough to carry any of their cards Blue, Green or Gold) - I awoke one morning to discover a letter informing me that I had been "pre-approved" for a Platinum Charge Card. Surely this had to be a mistake, it had only been a few months since my last application (for Green) ...

I was invited to Join the exclusive club after ...

I have had Amex Green Card for 3 years and am extremely happy with it. It is the best looking card on the market - you can see through it if you hold it up to the light - and I still get some shop keepers admiring the card when I use it which feels good. I have used the card outside the UK many times including EU and USA and have ...

American Express Blue Card First of all, this is a credit card. Nothing more nothing less. The same concept as Visa or Mastercard under a different name. So, what does it do? Well, firstly, it has a snob value! The AMEX name is possibly up there with Harrods and Coutts & Co, but this is definitely a card for Mr ...

I've been a customer of American Useless through work (we received Corporate Credit Cards). My experience of them is not at all positive. I'll describe the Blue card. USABILITY The Amex card can't be used everywhere as they seem to charge retailers high prices for the pleasure of receiving them. However, given that most ...
