Egg card cashback swindle

welshwiz

just a word of warning to anyone who wants to sign up for the AMERICAN EXPRESS PLATINUM 5% CASHBACK CARD.
ive had mine for 2 months now (5% for first 3 months only) and trying to put almost all of my spending on it to get as much cashback as possible in 3 months.
i am finding this almost impossible to do and ALWAYS take my good old VISA card (1% cashback) with me as a last resort.
"sorry we dont accept american express" seems to be the general reply!!
petrol station-NO, restuarant-NO, cineworld-NO, holiday booking-NO, snowdome- NO, local shops-NO, NO,NO,NO!!!!!????
WHERE THE BLOODY HELL CAN YOU USE IT???
its about as much use as an edjector seat in a helicopter!!!
a rubber cruch!! or an ashtray on a motorbike!!
USELESS!!! plus the fact that i have to carry my other cards around as well as cover.
(as us over 45's would say "american express - that'll do nicely"" NOT!!!

Tescos, Sainsbury's. Both sell groceries and petrol

(And both have tendencies to do the 5p/litre off for a #50 spend.)
