American Express Company Reviews (445)

Review: I received an American Express gift card (for $75) several years ago, but did not use due to misplacement. In early 2015, I received a notice from American Express with instructions on how to claim funds from the misplaced card...the form signed and submitted according to instructions and well prior to the deadline. On April *, I received a replacement card via [redacted] 2-day delivery, checked balance by phone and learned the card had a $0 balance. I immediately called customer service and during a 27 minute call it was confirmed that my paperwork was completed properly, but that funds had been withdrawn by AMEX after the card was shipped (reason unknown). I was advised that my complaint had been logged and I would receive a call with resolution in 3 - 5 business days. I called again on April **, and received the same information recap from [redacted] who said I would get a call within 1 - 2 business days and that I needed to give them time (his attitude had become very poor by this point and it was clear he had no intention of being of assistance). I demanded repeatedly to speak to a supervisor and after much argument, he agreed to transfer me, but instead my call was disconnected. I took no further action that evening. On April **, I checked the card balance via the AMEX website and the balance is still $0. It has been 13 business days and I have yet to receive any follow-up (either phone...they have my cell...or via [redacted]). Based upon my two previous calls with customer service, I have no expectation that this will be resolved without the assistance of a third party, which is why I am seeking your assistance.Desired Settlement: I want the $75 credit balance that I am due to be placed back on the American Express gift card that was received on April *, and is still in my possession (card number [redacted]). If American Express has submitted the funds to an unclaimed property service, I want the contact information for that service and any information required to secure the return of my funds.

Sincerely,

Review: The customer service I've gotten from this company is TERRIBLE. I willl never do business with this company ever again in life. I've been hung up on, lied to, misinformed, and just played with for the past two days. I needed my money for a serious emergency and I was told I would have my control number for my [redacted] transfer in one hour. That has turned into two days and I am completely devistated. I was insulted by being asked was the money in my account from a tax refund. The money in my account is from my payroll and its a shame that I've been through so much trouble and have yet to receive what I need. I am closing my account and pulling all funds out of my account. I have yet to receive my [redacted] transfer and I've had enough.Desired Settlement: All money pulled from account. Close my account out. All money sent to [redacted] transfer

Review: I have an American Express Serve Card. I have been trying to get back $499 that I was charged and have since disputed. The charge happened in August for a cell phone I was supposed to receive from somewhere in [redacted] (not sure where) from a company called [redacted]. I never received this phone. I called American Express Serve customer service in November before my window to open a dispute closed and let them know I never received the item. I intentionally waited a long time as I have items from overseas take months to show up before. I was unable to track the shipment as I never received shipping information. I gave American Express Serve all of this information when I initially opened the dispute. I showed them screenshots of my inability to log into the place where I could supposedly track it, emails that I sent to [redacted] Support asking for tracking information, etc. I opened this dispute November ** or**.

January [redacted] I finally get a response from SERVE customer service via email that denies my dispute. The email reads:

"After completing our investigation, we have determined the transaction to be valid for the following reason(s):

· The merchant has provided supports stating that the merchandize was received by the card member

If you would like to receive a copy of the documents we relied upon in making our determination, or if you have new or additional information that may be pertinent to our investigation please contact us at ###-###-####."

The above text has been COPIED AND PASTED. Since receiving that email, I called multiple times trying to reopen the dispute as it said I could do and asking for the information they say they used to make their decision. According to my call logs, I called the following times:

January[redacted]: 11 min 30 sec (was told I would receive information on decision and case was reopened)

January[redacted]: 16 min 23 sec

January[redacted]: 22 min 27 sec (was told the case was NOT reopened and that they would reopen it)

January**: 33 min 48 sec (was told the case was reopened, and closed again and I was not allowed to reopen it)

I also tried to get support via the [redacted] contact on [redacted] which was not helpful.

The dispute took over 40 days and they sided with the company who says I received it! Since then, it's been an uphill battle.

I have been told I could reopen the dispute and would be asked for additional information which I was never asked.

How are you supposed to make a decision without talking to me about it?

I was told I could see the "proof" showing I received the merchandise as the merchant apparently says I did. I have been asking for this proof for 19 days and have yet to receive it.

Support has been terrible. I have been trying to get this money back for OVER 2 months now.Desired Settlement: 1) I would like my $499 back on my card.

2) Do what you say you're going to do

Review: I had my card used without my permission and have filed numberous disputes and AMEX has disputed in the merchants favor even though they have given AMEX fraudulent information. The merchant has states that they had [redacted] permission to charge my card and [redacted] is not an authorized user on my account and does not have ownership of the property where the services were to be performed.The merchant has also stated they had given me a $4000 return and the documentation that was given was a blank check that was made payable to NO ONE. Bottom line is the merchant has provided AMEX fake and fictiuos information NUMEROUS times and instead of really investigating it they choose to believe any piece of paper that is sent to them.Desired Settlement: refunded

I have provided NEW information. I have attached the CORRECTIVE WORK ORDER/CITATION from the Arizona Register of Contractors that states that the Respondent( [redacted]) has violated many STATE LAWS:

1.) They are working outside of their license, which means they are not licensed to do this, and what they are doing is illegal.

2.) They illegally took funds without consent and any contract that has been executed. Per STATE LAW you can only take $1000 at time contract is executed, but there was never an executed contract.

3.) The work that was completed by them needs to be redone and because they are not licensed to do any of the work a licensed company will have to do it.

In conclusion, they cannot fix any of this work, by them selves or thru a company that they subcontract. You will find this on page 3 under complaint #7 under the 3rd bullet point

Review: On October 2015 American Express solicited me with a "new offer" to apply for a [redacted] credit card. The offer I received explained that I would receive 50,000 [redacted] if I completed the application and then used the credit card to purchase $3000.00 worth of goods within the first 3 months of receiving the card. I applied for the card and spent $3000.00 before February 2016. I contacted Emanuel at [redacted] customer service on February ** inquiring about the miles not credited to my Skymiles account and he opened case [redacted]. On March **, 2016 I received my next account statement and I still had not received credit from American Express, even though I had spent the $3000.00 in eligible expenses. When I contacted [redacted] customer service I was transferred to a supervisor who informed me that I am not eligible to receive the offer because I had opened a Delta American Express card years ago. American Express clearly had that information when they sent me the new offer for a new American Express card in 2015. I can not understand how its ethical or even legal to send someone a false and misleading offer for credit promising incentives that you will later claim you will not honor. I am requesting that American Express honor the offer they sent to me promising 50,000 Delta Sky Miles after I spent $3000.00 on a new American Express card. I accepted the offer in good faith and I expect American Express to complete the offer as it was described in their credit solicitation.Desired Settlement: I am requesting that American Express honor the offer they sent to me promising 50,000 Delta Sky Miles after I spent $3000.00 on a new American Express card.

Review: I've had the American Express Serve card for 2 years without any issue, until last week. I received my first pay back to work from maternity leave, $461. That same moment someone did a person to person money transfer of all my money!!! I immediately called AMEX serve and was told a fraud investigation will be conducted and I'll receive a call in 2 days. This happened March **, 2016. I never received the call but on Monday I rceived an email saying my account was permanently closed for violation of their service aggreement and to see paragraph 15 D which doesn't explain a violation. I called today to see about this fraud case and was told it was denied and the transaction was valid. Inwould need to file a police report and the case can't be reopened. That have stolen my $461 and I no longer have an account and there is nothing customer service or anyone of this company will do to retrieve it.Desired Settlement: Refund my $461.

Review: American Express has failed to keep its promise to issue revised refund check after my multiple re-submissions of requested documents over 7 months.

My mother, an account holder of American Express, passed away in 2005. I am a primary beneficiary of her estate.

In early 2013, a letter from American Express indicates that a refund check in the amount of $39.83 has been issued and made payable to my mother's name to compensate for incorrect charges of fees, etc., for the billing period ending in October, 2005.

I contacted American Express about my mother's passing and was told that the refund check will be reissued and made payable to my name if I provide documents that include my mother's Certificate of Death and show that I am a primary beneficiary of my mother's estate.

Since my initial submission of the documents on April **, 2013 was not responded, I submitted the documents again on May **, 2013. A letter dated June **, 2013 from [redacted], Customer Service [redacted] of American Express (at [redacted], [redacted], according to the letterhead), addressed to The Estate of my mother's name, states that "...in order to process your request for the refund check, please provide document(s) indicating that you are a primary beneficiary of the account holder." In response, I sent in the same requested documents (for the third time) on July **, 2013.

Again, since no refund was issued, I sent a letter addressed to [redacted] on September **, 2013, inquiring about the status of the refund check, along with a copy of the requested documents and prior letters of correspondence. In the September **, 2013 letter, I also reminded [redacted] that "Since I have not received the reissued refund check in a reasonable time frame, I called you ([redacted] direct line as given by the operator) and left 4 voice-mails over a 4-week period in September, 2013, requesting for update on the status of the refund check. To date I have not received any return calls."

It's been over 7 months since my initial submission of the required documents to American Express for the refund check be made payable to me. American Express has failed to provide me with the refund check as promised in their letter dated June **, 2013, despite my multiple resubmissions and follow-up phone calls.

Revdex.com's help in bringing this issue to a speedy closure will be greatly appreciated.Desired Settlement: Settlement amount: $1,039.83, which includes:

1. Amount of the refund check made payable to my name as originally promised by American Express

2. Experience of customer abuse by American Express: $1,000, which includes:

a. $800: $200 for each of my 4 rounds of resubmission of requested documents and follow-up calls that were not responded and allowed to be dragged on to almost a year now, including the emotional stress incurred, time and effort I have invested in each round

b. $200 for

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is grossly unsatisfactory to me and the matter remain resolved.

Review: On 10/**/2014 I loaded $300 dollars on to my American express prepaid card. I then went online to my account with American express and did a bill pay the same day as I had put the money on the card. I then clicked on online bill pay on the American express website, to pay a deposit on my secure visa card through first progress. That same day 10/**/2014 The $300 was taken off my card. I logged back in on 10/**/2014 to see if the payment had been paid to first premier yet and it stated "On 10/**/2014 transaction was paid and complete. I then contacted first progress to see if they had received my deposit amount yet and they stated "NO" I THEN CALLED AMERICAN EXPRESS BACK AND INQUIRED ABOUT MY $300 ON THE [redacted] OF OCTOBER. The operator told me that it had been paid and if the other business had not received the payment by that day then call back. I then waited til the [redacted] of October and called first premier back once again and they stated they still had not received my deposit. I called American express back on the [redacted] of October and a operator by the name of [redacted] told me he was going to expedite my complaint to his [redacted] via email. And that by the [redacted] of October I would have my $300 refund back to my card. Come the [redacted] of October no refund was still made available. I then contacted American express again on the [redacted] of October and was then transferred to a [redacted] that told me my complaint was still in processing and she don't know when they would give my money back.Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Refund

$300 plus interest from the time they took it.

Review: I applied for American Express Credit Card (Blue Card) in Sept. 2013 with a signup bonus of 250 reward $ on making $1000 in purchases within the first 3 months (I made this eligible purchase within 10 days of receiving the card). I called to enquire that I am eligible for receiving the 250 reward points. I was mis-assured that the transaction is eligible for the signup bonus and I should expect it to be posted in two billing cycles. Since Sept. 2013 I have called at least twice each month until today (Jan *, 2014). Each time I called I have been notified that I am eligible to receive the signup bonus and should see it posted in the following billing cycle until today when I was finally informed that I am not eligible to receive the signup bonus because I had already availed of the offer (and which I was told is mentioned in the terms and conditions of the credit card application) within the past two years. In the meantime since Sept. 2013 I was charged the annual fee of $75 for the card. Had I been informed that I am not eligible to receive a signup offer bonus in my first call (rather than mis-informing me that I am eligible and I should see the reward posted in the following billing cycle) or any of my subsequent calls I would have cancelled the credit card and the annual fee reversed. But since I was misinformed that I am eligible each time by the customer representatives I spoke with (for five or six times until today) I waited for four months for the bonus to be posted to my account. And today after four billing cycles I am ineligible to receive the $75 annual fee charged to my account (as I have passed the 2 month threshold for a refund) if I cancel the credit card and close the account.Desired Settlement: I thereby request American Express to either refund the membership fee of $75 charged to me along with the cancellation of the card or issue me a credit of $250 signup bonus for which I waited four months to post due to mis-information a number of times.

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

American Express in their response to my complaint mentioned that there was no mis-information that was present when I contacted them for about five or six instances (in four months) about the signup bonus being posted to my account. In each of the five / six instances I called American express I was mis-informed each time that I should see the signup bonus posted in the following billing cycle (which American Express denies). I firmly believe that American Express should refund the $75 annual membership fee that has been charged to my account. I would not have waited for four months for the signup bonus to be posted had I not been mis-informed multiple times.

This complaint can only be resolved by a refund of the $75 annual membership fee (and not a pro-rated refund).

Response:

American issued a refund (yet to be processed (to receive check in mail). I request the dispute to be closed and resolved.

Review: I was lied to about having late fee removed from my account twice.

In august I received 25.00 late fee after paying my balance off in full and called to question this amount was told my payment was received late. I was also closed my account because that account rep was very rude. I was told I would be receiving a credit I paid my balance off and thought I done. I did not receive any statement in September and then I received a statement in October for additional 25.39 bring my balance to 50.39. I called again was told this rep and then supervisor that 25.39 could refunded but the other amount for 25.00 was on there too long. I lied to yet again. I was on the phone 2nd time OCT ** for least 45 minutes trying to straighten this out. American Express customer service lies to their customer over and over again and no way are helpful any way. I been loyal customer 25 years and I was never treated so poorly by American express. I called yet a third time demanding to speak to manager as feel a customer shouldn't treated in this manner lied too and awaiting 25 minutes manager took my phone down because was not available to speak too.

I wrote down first name of people I talked to 2nd and 3rd time I called. [redacted] was the rep and [redacted] was the supervisor 3rd time I called I spoke [redacted] briefly and then supervisor by name of [redacted] who took my number because manager was not available to speak too. If this happening to me happening to other customers as well.Desired Settlement: I just want a refund 50.39 to my account. American express used to go extra mile in customer service but no longer is the case. In my opinion there customer service should be out help the customer and these people be more considerate to the customer. Their rudeness and lies should not be tolerated because happen this time it will happen again.

Review: I was offered a pay over time option on my american express credit card. I was told that I had a one month timeframe to make purchases and those purchases would be placed in a pay over time option as opposed to a Pay in full that is required monthly. I charged close to $10,000 in a one month time frame for an unexpected trip to Hawaii for my daughter to dance in the probowl as well as Christmas expenses. I received my bill in January with only a portion of the money in a pay over time option. I contacted american express in this process and was working with [redacted] from [redacted]. I was required to pay $2,000 for purchases made before the pay over time option (payment for $2,000 was made to American Express [redacted]) and I was required to make monthly pay over time payments of $200.00. The company used my $200.00 payments to cover my pay in full option as opposed to my payments for pay over time which suspended my pay over time feature. This resulted in the company being unable to move the balance of my pay in full to the pay over time option. I disputed this with American Express and they continue to tell me there is nothing they can do to help me. They are requesting a $3,000 + payment to pay off my pay in full option to which I don't have right now. I explained to American Express the only reason I utilized there card was for the pay over time option they offered me. I had other credit cards I could have used that accept monthly repayments. I called them today because they call my cell phone daily again to figure out how I can pay them without becoming delinquate. I offered to pay $250.00 monthly for my entire debt. American Express offered me a payment plan of $360.00 monthly for 12 months with negative reporting to the credit bureau monthly for entering into a repayment plan. I declined at this point and are contacting the Revdex.com for resolution. [redacted]This issues has been going on since Jan. 2014 and American Express has adequate notations of this issue.[redacted]Desired Settlement: I want the entire balance to be in the pay over time option that I agreed for repayment.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

AMEX offered me a pay over time benefit on Dec **, 2013. I had a previous balance of $2,749.60 that was placed in the pay over time balance as well as any charges made before the close of that billing period which was $5,294.95. The total of $8,017.19. I received a bill in January that stated only a portion of the money I owed was moved into the pay over time benefit. I called AMEX to find out what was wrong and they told me that any purchases under $100.00 could not be moved to the pay over time. I sent AMEX $2,000 at this time to take care of any changes under the $100.00. That was on Feb * 2014. I worked directly with [redacted] in [redacted] (amex employee). He continue to move my pay in full purchases over to the pay over time portion which was a process. There are notes from my AMEX account all the way back to January 2014 that will confirm everything I am saying. [redacted] continued to work with another department until AMEX suspended my pay over time portion because I didn't pay my pay in full potion. [redacted] was able to move an additional $1870.65 to the pay over time portion before it was suspended.

AMEX has stated they are not able to locate the voice recordings from [redacted]. I have his direct # and I'm sure he would be willing to discuss this matter with the Revdex.com. I am asking the Revdex.com to look into this matter. I asked AMEX to do an investigation in which they state they can't find voice recordings of the pay over time offer or any conversations with [redacted]. I think this is untrue and the customer notes from the 50+ phone calls I have made since January 2014 to AMEX will show you that.

Review: Around August [redacted], 2013 I attempted to set up a BlueBird account with American Express online. A few days later my application was rejection because there are no "public records" for my name. I called in and spoke to a supervisor who walked me through trying to set up an account again over the phone which was also denied. I called in and spoke to another person after that and explained that I had processed a LEGAL NAME CHANGE on 03/**/13 so she advised me to try to set it up under my old name and then after the account was created, I could do a name change. It was a really long work around but I agreed to do it so I attempted a THIRD TIME using a THIRD EMAIL ADDRESS since you won't let me use the same one and I finally got an email asking to verify my identity. I thought this was great because then I can finally prove that I am who I say I am. So, though I got the email after trying to register under [redacted], I sent in the documentation that you asked. My driver's license and my social security card(both showing [redacted]) AND the COURT DECREE declaring my name change from [redacted] to [redacted]. Today, over 10 days after faxing that documentation and NOT HEARING ANYTHING, I finally call your company and am basically told there is nothing they can do because [redacted] "doesn't exist in public records". Of course I do, I have had all of my bills and utilities in that name since March **, 2013(one day after my legal name change). After speaking to supervisors at your company, apparently there is nothing they can do. My problem is that obviously "public records" don't verify [redacted] either or else you wouldn't have asked for further documentation of my id. If those documents which you requested in email are good enough to prove [redacted], why aren't they good enough to prove [redacted] ESPECIALLY when accompanied by a COURT DOCUMENT verifying the name change? I understand ID theft is a problem and I appreciate the carefulness your company takes but I cannot except that there is no solution or work around when someone changes their name. Nor can I accept faxing documents PROVING MY IDENTITY and not getting any response. It seems unsavory in that manner alone when you think that you accepted a copy of my DRIVERS LICENCE AND SOCIAL SECURITY CARD and then don't even have the decency to respond to tell me you cannot proceed or anything.Desired Settlement: I would like a bluebird account set up in my LEGAL NAME which is [redacted]. I don't care what your "public records" say. I can provide any and all documentation you would like INCLUDING a birth certificate showing my new name on it.

[I received your letter in the mail today besically repeating what you said in the first letter which upsets me even more because it was clear from the response that you have not listened at any time during this complaint. I tried twice to set up an account with my legal name around August **-** using two different email addresses. [redacted] and [redacted] - both of those applications were flatly denied for not matching public record. I then attempt a third registration using [redacted] under my PREVIOUS legal name and got a response asking for paperwork to verify my identity on August **, 2013. I don't understand how you can say that I didn't send in the required documents within the specified timeframe because I faxed them to you that SAME DAY at 5:42 PST. I faxed them TWICE to you in case the first set got lost. All of my required documents were faxed to ###-###-####. However, the email was asking for documents proving the identity using my previous legal name of [redacted]. Instead, I responded with legal documents showing my CURRENT LEGAL NAME of [redacted]. I sent all of the documents you were requesting INCLUDING the copy of the court decree showing that I used to be [redacted] and a letter explaining why I was responding to the account application for [redacted] with documentation for a [redacted]. A couple of days went by again and I called because I had not gotten a response and I was told that my application was denied because the paperwork sent in did not match the application. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T. I HAVE LEGALLY CHANGED MY NAME. At NO TIME after any of the applications using my CURRENT LEGAL NAME did it ever ask me to send in paperwork to verify my identity. I only got that response after attempting to apply under my OLD LEGAL NAME. Today is 10/**/2013 and we are now going on two months without your company resolving the issue. YOUR COMPANY HAS SEEN THE DOCUMENTATION FOR MY IDENTITY PLUS MORE DOCUMENTS THAN YOU ASKED FOR WHEN I SENT THEM IN CONCERNING THE APPLICATION FOR [redacted] WHICH AGAIN, IS MY PREVIOUS LEGAL NAME.]

There was a hold placed on my account on 12/**/2015 by a merchant that I placed an order with and two minutes after I mistakenly placed the order I cancelled it and the merchant never charged my card with the purchase. So here it is day five and an American Express Representative is throwing their refusal to release my funds back onto my card. I have had several bad experiences with this company and now it overwhelming because they continue to give their customers a run around. I'm so done with them and I wish something can be done about it. Someone's immediate attention will be greatly appreciated.

Review: The purpose of this dispute is to resolve two disputed transactions for the [redacted] charged to my American Express Serve account (number ending in [redacted]) in the amounts of $2,500 and $1,960.00. I am disputing these transactions because I have returned the merchandise to the merchant and I am due a refund in the amount of $4,460.00.

I have reach out to both American Express and the [redacted] multiple times concerning this matter. I am requesting that American Express acknowledge receipt of this third party dispute and follow up with me in a timely manner concerning the dispute status.

Respectfully,

[redacted]Desired Settlement: I am requesting that American Express kindly escalate the matter of resolving the dispute with the merchant, by charging back to its account the amount of the disputed transactions and releasing the authorizations and funds from the two previous payments back into my American Express Serve account.

Review: On sunday 7/**, while making reservations on [redacted] for air travel I was offered and accepted to apply for american express delta sky miles card with a promise of 50 dollar statement credit and 30000 delta bonus points if I spent 1000 dollars over next 3 months. The statement credit could be applied right away to delta purchase for air ticket and bonus point accrual could also start with money spent on delta purchase. AE card advertisement is built within delta's web page as you purchase ticket. I applied, was accepted, a web page asked me if I wanted to get my account number right away to use for payment for my [redacted] purchase. I opted to get that, but next web page told me I was not authorized to view that web page. If I attempted to close, a warning came up that "are you sure you do not want your new card number" I called american express and after making me wait I was told that new account department is closed and you need to call monday. The rep reassured me that I should not worry about my bonus and offer of statement credit as these things do happen.

I closed my web page and had online chat with delta rep, who flat out told me they cant do anything as this is AE issue (I emphasized that the whole advertisement is part of delta ticket purchase and is embedded within deltas process so delta must share or collaborate). I purchased tickets with a different credit card spending $348.00.

Next day around 1 PM I called AE new account department ###-###-####. I explained the whole story, and rep transferred me. Female rep from AE told me this was credit deptt and not customer service, reassured me and transferred me to another deptt, the gentleman told me he cant help because that was business credit cards and not personal, reassured me and transferred me, this gentleman advised me to speak to his supervisor "Brian" who came on line and after courtesy statement line disconnected. I was very unhappy, called same number again, the gentleman told me there is not much they can do as they do not have any info on my new card as it takes 1-2 days and if I choose to spend more time he can connect me to yet another supervisor. Essentially I felt ashamed of myself spending 2 hours on this ordeal for nothing, pursuing 50 dollars and 30000 points.Desired Settlement: I would like AE to work with delta and accept my ticket purchase (using a different credit card as I was not given AE cc number) to issue statement credit of 50 dollars. AE should also give bonus points in lieu of 348 dollars that I used on delta ticket purchase on 7/**/14 (I would have used 348 dollars towards my stipulation of 1000 dollars to get 30000 bonus points. AE customer service seemed very disorganzed, customer unfriendly and non professional, seemed they had no clue about what they were doing. I spent 1 hour at least with AE on multiple occasion, an apology, complimentary service and compensation for my time will be appropriate outcome. American express should not have this advertisement within delta page as delta tells me it has nothing to do with it. Delta page is built around this AE offer so AE and delta need to clarify what is being offered by whom and who is responsible.

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

The attached letter shows that AE did not even read my concerns and sent me a letter saying my application for credit card was approved. This was not the issue. Their response reinforced my grievance that they had difficulty solving problems for customers. I also expressed my concern that there website/advertisement on delta website is misleading and misinforming. My issue was that I did not receive delta miles, delta statement credit and had a painful ordeal and loss of time contacting them by phone. I spent money on delta tickets that should be credited towards spending stipulation to get bonus miles and give statement credit as promised on delta site.

The business needs to be explicit in its advertisement clearly spelling out who will get bonus points and who will not. The whole process is misleading, where consumer is kept guessing if they should complain to delta airlines where the credit card advertisement is displayed or complain to American express. The customer service experience is made cumbersome and complicated to discourage consumers and put the onus on consumer. If I was not eligible for bonus points it should have been clearly spelled out in letter or in approval email.

Review: American Express Dispute: [redacted] July *, 2013 Dear Revdex.com, On 7-*, I opened a dispute with inferior service with a merchant noted below. AMEX requested additional documentation which was uploaded to their system. I received a letter stating the dispute was closed and they could not refund the disputed money. No reason was given but just shown a receipt for services which I paid for. The person handling the dispute did not understand it the dispute, it was for poor services and poor quality of food. All this C/s did was request a receipt and then closed the dispute. I never had any issues with AMEX and they always stood beside us when it came to disputes and without justification they closed it.?? When I called back they stated there was nothing they could do, but in the past they always stood behind their customers. It appears there was no in depth investigation to this dispute by AMEX. Please note that on June [redacted] 2013, our family visited the Hilltop dining establishment to celebrate our twin’s graduations. To start with the dining area was dirty, along with the table settings and tables itself. We ordered our meals, and when they arrived my wife’s fish had an awful under taste, my son’s hamburger was over cooked and burnt, and my steak was nothing but gristle and fat and just plain bad. One of our twins ordered steak tips medium cooked, it came out burnt, dry and cold and my other twin had the seafood platter that also arrived cold and dry with a foul taste, indicating it was old. Also we had told the waiter we were missing a plate setting which he then took a setting from another table that was dirty with food particles stuck on the silverware. I complained to the waiter and also sent an email the next day 6-10 to the Hilltop via their web page http[redacted] with no reply. This was not the celebration we had in mind for our twins and left upset. We also had to go to a fast food establishment for takeout right after this experience. Basically we threw 161.00 in the door and left empty handed. I am requesting a full refund of $161.71 for the awful food and experience on a day that should have been a great time.Desired Settlement: Credit account for 161.71 please.

Review: I used to have a American Express Gold [redacted] credit card and closed the account in by paying the outstanding amount in full in and around August 2014. I opened a new credit card with them with a zero annual fee. Later around December when I was planning on buying a car I noticed some errors in my credit report where in I noticed that a delinquint account has been shown in my name. I called into American express and noticed that I have been paying for some service which I didnt authorize and soon after that American express nulified all the charges and had a review open for the charges and they said they will update all the credit bureau's with this wrong information and clear everything. I was told I will not be responsible for anything as I didnt authorize those charges. Back in February I had to buy a car and the and the same delinquint account shows up and I had to pay more for the interest charges and also I was not able to obtain best loan program due to this error from American Express.Desired Settlement: I hereby request American express to fix these wrong information by updating all the credit bureau's and since I wasnt able to obtain good credit , they need to pay for the damages I had to incurr because of that . They need to help me pay any amount that will bring down the interest rate for me due to the incorrect credit information. Also they need to pay for the damages they have caused by causing a dent in my credit history by paying me for the inconvenience they caused. I expect them to pay $ 20,000 fine for this . I will take them to court if required for all the inconvieniences and bad name this has caused me

Review: In september 2015 I got a bill for an American express everyday card (total $353). For the past 6 months I have been struggling with American express fraud department about charges that were made for Amex everyday Card that has never been in my possession. Though I hold a Corporate Card, I have never received any Everyday Card. Amex Fraud services tells me they are not able to consider my fraud application because I have assumed liability by having made payments on the EveryDay card. To this date Amex has not been able to prove such payment, the everyday Card has been closed for lack of payment and the case is now with collection. I have filed an ID theft report with local police and shared this with Collection. I am very disappointed to see that amex is not able to resolve such a basis issue. I spent over 30 minutes over the phone each month to get the same result!Desired Settlement: Amex should provide prrof of payment to the card, confirm with merchants that I am not responsible for these charges and withdraw this case from Collection and credit reporting agencies

Review: I loaded my American express prepaid [redacted] REDcard of $100 at [redacted] in [redacted] at 05/**/2015. On the receipt, it says " no refunds for this item and Debit total payment $100". However the funds never showed up in my account. I contacted American express the same day and was promised to get the issue resolved in 45 days. Then I followed up with 2 more phone calls. One customer representative told me that this was a issue on that day for a lot of american express prepaid cards. However, almost 2 months have passed, I still have not got the funds in my account so far. I called American express again and they told me to contact [redacted] now. It feels like kicking [redacted] .Desired Settlement: Get my funds in my account.
