Amex Coverage ?

krisb60

I am thinking of switching to Amex (probably the new Nectar card) but am wary there are many(?) retailers/internet shops etc. that still do not accept Amex? Is this true? What are others' experiences? Any advice welcome!

There is an american express discussion thread and a who accepts american express discussion thread. All your questions should be answered by reading these threads.

You mean this one

You will be surprised how many people do accept it.

Don't switch! Have Amex and at least one of Visa or Mastercard cards.

Thanks for your guidance. I shall apply for a Nectar blue and find a Visa with decent cashback - any ideas?
