AMEX - Get money off if they don't accept it!

Hi all,
I bought some wood flooring today and after a long hard barter I got them down to £350. I tried to get them down either further but £475 to £350 wasn't too bad. I then produced my AMEX for the 5% cash-back and they told me they didn't except it!
So i said... ah so you can go to £330 then because I only wanted to use my AMEX (placing the card on the table). After a bit of chatting they went to £340 and I bumped it down to £335. So I used my Barclaycard which has 2 weeks worth of 3% cash-back left on it... (I tired to cancel it.)
So the moral of the story.... if your trying to make a purchase check to see if they accept it... if not knock more money off!
