    This is the best "charge" card on the market. Depending on the country you live in, the service levels will vary a lot. But AMEX is the only true card for anyone who travels extensively overseas. The amount of protection and service that you can get while travelling, by far outweighs the annual cost ...

    I have an HSBC Platinum Amex card. Supposedly, this qualifies one for airport lounge access when travelling on certain airlines. But as the New Zealand issued HSBC Platinum Amex card has a 'silver fern' motif on its face, the airlines refuse to honour it. Nobody in Amex is willing or able to resolve ...

    Have been an American Express cardholder since 1988. Started with a gold card and have been a platinum cardholder for at least 10 years. I have just had my notification come through that on my November statement it will show my £300 annual fee. Sorry to say, but I have today cancelled my memb ...

    Basically I have had this card for 4 weeks and am considering cancelling it, the benefits are not what AMEX say they are, their customer service is very very poor. There is no such thing as unlimited spending on any of these cards platinum or centurion basically you build up a credit history on a mo ...

    I must say that for my business card, the annual fee is $395, and my personal even higher, I believe $450. I am a long time American Express Platinum holder since 88 and I haven't had a problem yet. Although everyone may not qualify, this card is worth striving for. It has also helped teach one resp ...

    I have the CitiBank Amex Select card for my miles and that offsets the rough deal you get with the Companion tickets. The RewardsFirst program is pretty cool and the Starwood complimentary enrolment is worth it as well. The only complaint is that you have to shell out 9000 to fly to Europe for busin ...

    American Express Platinum Companion Tickets ? Not the bargain you think it is.

    I tried to book a companion ticket for my wife to a Caribbean or Mexican destination. When I called the American Express Companion Ticket office, I was told they only fly to certain destinations and you have to fly ...

    If you use your points to pay for the annual fee, it takes 90,000 points per year (20,000 points = $100).If, instead, you get the AMEX Blue Cash Back ... use that as your primary card, I should get the $450 back with spending $35-40k per year and still get the perks of the Platinum. It seems like s ...

    Lost card over seas in a small village by the ocean. Called night before - card arrived at my small hotel the next morning. Exceptional service with only one minor problem at airport.

    Other than all the bad point the card is nice and customer service is nice. Not much else to say about the card.
