Anyone else struggling with their Amex? More and more places seem to be boycotting the Amex and it's driving me a bit bonkers so I'm looking to replace with another reward credit card - but most recommended are Amex, or require a new bank account which I'm not keen to do.

I wish to purchase something that is more that the credit limit on my credit card. Is it fine to add the required extra funds to my credit card prior to the purchase, so I can purchase the item and not exceed my credit limit.
