Review: I ordered a bicycle using my reward points on 7/**/2014 in amex site. But I havent received my bicycle till 7/**/2014, so I have to follow-up with the customer service for multiple time to get the status. Finally, I was told the order was not processed and they will process it ASAP. After much of the struggle I got the bicycle delivered by begining of August. Immediately when I opened the bicycle I found out that bicycle gear was broken. And the product was in such a state that I will not be able to ride the bicycle at all. I tried to reach customer support and I was told within 3 days they will process a a replacement order for the same. But I never received any update after 5 days also, so when I checked with them I was told to send the photograph of the damage to them. I sent the photographs immediately but nothing happened. I was told after 3 days again that the email was not received and so I sent photographs again but nothing happened. The same thing email story was said again and again 3 times, so finally at the end of september i.e. 45 days after I was told AMEX will not be able to provide any help on the same and I have to contact the manufacturer regarding the same. I was given a email id of the manufacturer to follow up for the same. If this is how things is going to workout, I am not sure why they have wasted more than 45 days of my time by asking a photograph. I am trying to followup with the email that amex gave me, but I am not getting any response for the same. Now I dont know what will I do with the broken bicycle. It was almost like they cut off me and I wasted $276 of my reward point for nothing but crap of a metal. A pathetic customer service experience, I would rank this as bottom most that I have gone through till now.Desired Settlement: I need this issue to be resolved as soon as possible, if they will not be able to resolve this issue in next 15 days, I have to convince myself that someone stole the money from me.

Review: I cancelled this account, they charged me a late fee that I paid for the last month of service. Well I couldnt pay it online as the account was cancelled so it was late again. I paid the next one on time, of course they know its cancelled. They then charged me another late fee eventhough my payment was not late. I would have paid them on time for the first two had they allowed me. Now this third charge has me thinking all of it was fraudulent and maybe I should ask for all the fees back, I trusted them the first 2 times. This is a business account and my husband [redacted] is the one that takes care of these bills and tried to call them. He spoke to them and they where rude stating that he can't talk about the account even though he is listed.Desired Settlement: I know the last fee is not a real fee, and maybe the first two are not either. We cancelled the account and we always paid online, once cancelled we had no way of paying. Then the payment of the first fee was late, I get that, but the last one was not, and now I wonder where any of these real fees. We should not have to pay this last fee of 38.69 and maybe we should be reimbursed 64.85 for the other 2 late fees. Thank you.

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:

We received a bill with a total balance of $1856.83 due October *,2105. American Express in their response states a payment was posted on Oct *, 2015 for $1856.83. It is my understanding that the account balance at that time should be zero. The account was closed prior to this time so no further charges we added. I do not understand why we confined to receive a bill in November and December for late fees and finance charges after the balance was played in full. We do not feel we owe the remaining fees. If these charges were necessary they should have been part of the amount owed in October. We consciously did not pay the bills received in November and December as we were certain we had paid the balance in full. American Express was kind enough to remove the fee for December but we had already paid the $64.85 balance for the previous 2 months. We would like a refund check for $64.85.

The consumer has not provided any new information to which we can respond, therefore, American Express considers the matter closed and no response will be sent to the consumer.

Why I would be pulling out all my business from American Express?

American Express customer service is getting bad day by day. They charged me late fee and interest of More than 300.00 because of some computer system error. When I requested refund they say they could not help. Talked to several people at American express. Nicole (ID# [redacted]). She told me that she cannot help. I requested to get me to the supervisor. One Mr. S[redacted] (ID# [redacted]) came on phone. He had nasty attitude from beginning. He just want listen and said sorry I am not able to help you ! With this kind of people and rude service, American express is losing my large business I am sure this company is start hurting and probably would get sold eventually.

Review: This complaint is regarding the lack of customer service received on my call 7/**/13. I have three American Express cards (Blue, Costco, and Corporate) and have been unsuccessful in making a payment on my Corporate account. In May 2013 I had made a duplicate payment by mistake and called AMEX to have one cancelled. I was told this could not be cancelled and to contact my bank (Chase Bank) to have the payment stopped. I contacted Chase and was told payment had already been submitted and that it could not be cancelled. I contacted AMEX to inform them of this and we agreed to transfer my payment and apply it to my Costco AMEX account. A few days later, Chase had stopped the additional payment and I was charged an Insufficient Funds charge by AMEX. I have been unable to make a payment online as my bank account was locked by AMEX, due to the issue explained above. I contacted AMEX customer service via phone on 7/18/13 in order to resolve the issue and make a payment to bring the account to current standing. The initial representative I spoke with was helpful, but incomplete, as they did not mention that my bank account was suspended and informed me to call back with my banking information to make a payment (I did not have my routing number available at the time of the call). This representative had been given the full explanation above and told it would be paid by that same account. When I called back with my banking information I was informed I couldn't pay and was connected to a rep. to unsuspend my bank account. The rep. opened a "case" and said I would receive something in the mail in 7-10 business days, but a payment was needed today. I informed them this is my only active checking account with funds available. I asked if I could make a payment to one of the other cards as my Chase bank was not suspended and I had just made a payment the day before. In an attempt to make this payment I was transferred three times and had to reexplain my case each time as the other rep did not stay on the phone to explain the situation. Upon the last transfer, I requested to speak with a supervisor as I had been on hold, with no resolution, for 50 minutes. The supervisor was unwillingly to help and cut me off as I was providing an explanation as to why the call was escalated. I asked, "why it was it so difficult to provide a financial company with payment?" and explained that the representative had done a similar transfer when the duplicate payment was made back in May. He placed me on hold and said he would check to see what he could do. After being on hold for several minutes, the call was disconnected and no attempt was made to call me back. The supervisor had all of my personal information to do so. I have been an American Express customer for roughly 7 years and have always kept my account in good standing. I have never received such inadequate customer service from multiple people that were clearly not interested in assisting or had the knowledge base to assist in taking someone's money. I lost an hour of my work day and have been left with no resolution to making a payment.Desired Settlement: A resolution and apology. Allow my bank account that is currently used for 2 cards to be active on the third.

Review: I applied America Express [redacted] preferred guest credit card, because an offer of 30,000 bonus point after you spend 5000 dollars with in 3months,thru a referral link, my card was approved and I spent the required amount,

the points was not issue to my account, so, I inquire, I was told the term is if you ever had this product before, you will not qualify to receive the bonus, the product showing if you did not have the product within the past 12month is a business card, not a personal card.(they looks exactly the same on the website) My issue is if this is the case, before they approve to my application, they should high light the question to the applicant, it is very obvious they know who previously has the product,otherwise how would they be able to deny my bonus point?

Amex could easily put in a box, "our record show you previously has this product, you will not be qualify for the bonus points, do you still want to continue your application?"

Further more, two of my relative also applied this Amex [redacted] preferred guest personal credit card, thru the same referral link, they both has this same product previously, they both receive the 30,000 bonus points after they spend 5,000 dollars,

why was I treated differently, what is the ground for unequal treatment, why am I treated less than an applicant than my two relative, names can be provided if necessary.(Desired Settlement: issue the 30,000 bonus points to my account, as they have issued to my two relatives who also previously has this product. who also applied thru the exact same link as I did

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:

1. Fair and Equal treatment: American Express not addressing my concern, using excuse of "Third Party Disclosure Laws and Amerian Express" privacy policy prohibit sharing certain types of infoamtion with non authorized accountholders. I did not request Amex to share third party info, if they read my complaint, they would see that I offer that my relatives who applied under the same link at the same time, also previous has [redacted] account. they did receive bonus points after they spent 5000 dollars. I stated my relative will offer their account information to Revdex.com, I did not request Amex to share third party information. They are not respond to my issue, instead try to use excuse to avoid respond to the real "Unfair and Unequal treatment"2. Promotional Offer: Again Amex avoid the direct response of confusing information, with two logo of Amex [redacted] card and Amex [redacted] business card looks exactly the same, one using term of if you have this card within the past twelve month, you are not eligible. One using if you ever had this card you are not eligible. to confuse consumers.3. Further more, Amex did not address the concern, on the application process, they could easily highlight to the applicant at the end of the process, our system find that you previously has this product, that make you not eligible for the bonus points, do you wish to continue with this application?4. Further more, Amex could send a letter along with the credit card issued to the applicant, we found that you previously has this product you do not qualify for the bonus points. at this point the consumer can decide if they wish to use this card or not, instead, AMEX mislead the consumer, let them spend 5,000 dollar on the card, allow their customer service to advise consumer, after 5000 requirement is met, you just have to wait 6 to 8 weeks, before the points will issue to your account.5. There are many steps Amex can take to avoid the misunderstanding, and to avoid unhappy customer.6. In view all the above points, I am requesting Amex to issue the 30,000 points to my account. I do not like to be treated less than other card holder, any reasonable person can empathize this, Again, Amex does not need to reveal other account holder's information, my relatives would be happy to supply and support my statement.

Review: I have 5 prepaid rewards cards that I received for submitting rebates. [redacted] didn't clearly disclose all the terms of he cards and drained the money from them based on charging $2 monthly fee. I would like to get my money back.

Cards in question:

All cards state an expiration date in 2021 on the front. However, the cards are truly not good through 2021 because [redacted] charges $2 monthly fee for non-usage and drains all the money way before 2021. This is very misleading. On the back of the card it says that the $2 fee will be assessed starting 5 months after card issuance. However, nowhere on the card is the information on the issuance date. [redacted] chose to put a bogus 2021 date to mislead people. Issuance date has to be on the card if it determines the charges. The issuance date was also not included in any documentation I received from [redacted] with my rebate prepaid reward card.

I would like to get my money back.Desired Settlement: I would like to get my money back.

Review: This is the second time that I applied for Premier Rewards Gold Card that I received from the mail with RSVP code#. And this is the second time they told me they cannot find that numbers after transfering me to four different person that might help my application. After the fourth person, I just hanged up due to frustration. Is this a scam? They tried to put me on the phone for more than half an hour, or more if I did not hanged up. A'm I paying for the minutes? I can't believe that a prestigious company like American Express will make an error "twice giving me the wrong RSVP code!"

I had called and chatted online several times regarding this and no ever told me.

Review: The first thing I would like to say to American Express, is that the past can’t be changed, but the future is whatever we make it. Over 10 years back I had American Express cards and they went delinquent because of health issues I was faced with over 10 years back and I had to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy over 10 years back.

It is over 10 years later since my accounts wear canceled with AMEX, and I recent just applied for Amex because I am very credit established today as we speak. I Filed Bankruptcy on [redacted], And [redacted]. And hear it is 10 years later and booth companies have reissued credit to me that I have had now for 2 years with perfect payment history. The funny thing is that I have A [redacted] card too with a generous credit line. After applying for an Amex card reference # [redacted]usd my application was not possessed because of American Express system recognizing my very old canceled accounts, and no credit pull was done on my behalf. After this I contacted AMEX to speak to new accounts, and they informed me that my Application could be forwarded to a supervisor for further processing and a credit bureau would be pulled. AMEX new accounts did tell me that just because my old accounts wear canceled that it does not mean that I could never have another new account. My application was sent to a supervisor and was declined due to AMEX canceling my old cards from 10 years back, and I have the letter AMEX sent me in the mail. Not for anything AMEX, this is no way to grow new business. I want corporate involved because I have had a complete run around. And I feel that I have been violated because I was told by new accounts that AMEX does issue new credit to people that have had their old accounts from a long time back canceled. I feel that if Amex never gives people a chance again that had an old account that was canceled, that the company really should post that on their new applications.Desired Settlement: I would like a chance to be a card holder again with this Company, I would like to be treated fair as a consumer.

Review: On May ** 2015, I was offered by Mary and Ilene in the fraud department a $2426.76 credit when my statement closed. Due to 3 false fraud alerts.

On May [redacted] I was making a purchase to [redacted] for a vacation package. I was sent 2 fraud alert texts and approved both. My card was still declined as I was being called by American Express by phone for a 3rd fraud alert. I was not able to purchase the package as American Express had my card on hold. After calling Amex and approving the purchase via text 2 times and once by phone the package priced had increased by $2426.76. I called Amex back to complain. In speaking with Mary and Irene from the fraud dept I was offered they would pay the $2426.76 as it was their fault I had to pay more. I had approved the transaction 3 times and the delay caused the price to increase so they would pay the difference. It is now July [redacted], my statement has been closed for more than a month and I still haven't received the credit.

Review: Unethical business practices and rude employees

I have 225 dollars on an American express card I cannot use because the card does not work. I have told 3 different representatives this Several times and they keep telling me to try again. I have tried it at 4 atms, 2 stores and 2 merchants online and it won't even read the card so I can put a pin number in. The first lady told me they would expedite a check but I have to fax a copy of a bill with my current address even tho I have already changed it online and given them all my security questions. The second lady gave me a fax number so I faxed it over today. I called to verify it was received and that my check would be expedited. She informed me it would not be and no fax was received. I spoke with a manager who told me I needed to resend it to a different number and the check would not be expedited. And it would also take 3-5 business days to process my address change. I Am Not Late On Bills And Very Upset With The Fact They Think It's OK To Treat Customers With Such Disrespect. I will make sure to never use American express again. Their practices are extremely unethical.Desired Settlement: 227

I was informed my request had been rejected because the copy of my state issued ID was not legible. I asked why I was not informed. He claimed I was emailed. I was not. I resubmitted the request, making sure I used an even higher resolution picture. That day in the mail a letter arrived informing me the considered my ID illegible because they could not locate the expiration date. AZ ID cards do not have expiration dates. I again used their chat feature, and tried to inform them of this, so that my next request would not also get rejected. I informed them that I had provided them with a state issued ID. They suugested getting a different form of ID. I informed them that I cannot get a driver's license as I am legally blind, and that I see no reason to spend money and time getting a passport simply to update a name when every other place has been fine with my government issued ID. After awhile, I was transferred to a supposed "supervisor" and was told I would get a phone call. 3 business days later, I had gotten no such call. I chatted with them again (I dislike talking with their phone customer service, as it had largely been outsourced. I know that chat is too, but it allows for less room for error, and provides a transcript). I was again informed that I would be getting a call because "Their system was down", was then transferred to another "supervisor", and told the call would come within a day. It has not. This "Supervisor" also ended my chat session leaving me unable to save the transcript from this chat. If you contact them, the name on the account is my maiden name of "[redacted]"Desired Settlement: I just want the name on my credit card to be my legal name; the one that appears everywhere else, including on every other account on my credit report, which they are able to see.

Review: Under the terms of the AMEX Blue Cash Everyday Card I applied for I was to (quote)"Earn 100 Reward Dollars after you use your new Card to make $1000 in purchases within the first 3 months." Consequently I went ahead and made the necessary purchases within the specified time frame, yet never received the 100 Reward Dollars promised in the terms of the agreement. I have been an excellent customer in good standing with AMEX paying my bills ontime and have a credit score in the 770 range. My outstanding balance on this card is exactly $100 and would like AMEX to credit my account with the Reward Dollars so I can settle this account. Thank You for your help!Desired Settlement: I would like AMEX to credit my Blue Cash Everyday Card account with the advertised 100 Reward Dollars per terms of the agreement.

Review: I was a seven year card member with american express. I opened a new card with them to take advantage of a balance transfer offer. I applied and was approved. I was told the card would arrive and then a welcome letter would arrive shortly after, explaining the details of the card. I waited for cards and the letter to arrive, and then contacted them to process a balance transfer. My account was opened on August [redacted], 2014. The welcome letter arrived September [redacted], 2014 and I contacted them on September [redacted], 2014. I was told I was too late to take advantage of the offer. I spoke with a supervisor via online chat, who had me call a balance transfer division who all refused to help me. I was also refused when I asked to speak with the phone representative's supervisor. There offers are very misleading.Desired Settlement: American express lost a seven year card member. I would like them to explain why, when their policies are so misleading, they are willing to let me business go over 48 hours
