Or from Tesco, Sainsburys, Shell, etc. If I've got a big purchase to make I'll stop by at Shell on the way and stock up on gift cards.0 -

Brighton Aldi only takes cash or debit cards .- not sure how they deal, if amex debit cards exist!Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..

Starbucks appears to have stopped taking American Express either temporarily or as a bug. Both my local one and the one near Stansted airport no longer accept American Express due to a change in policy.0

I used mine in Starbucks during the week.
They never accept contactless - only Chip & Pin.
Might be a different setup in England?reclusive46 wrote: »Starbucks appears to have stopped taking American Express either temporarily or as a bug.

I used mine on Wednesday and at that one it wouldn't work on Saturday.
One of my local ones did actually take Amex via contactless as well but the others didn't.0 -

Update: It seems to have been a temporary thing, my local Starbucks now accepts it again as of this morning.0 -
Liverpool Victoria Insurance Company (a.k.a. LV=) do NOT accept Amex0

There seems to be some confusion over BT, some say yes, others no.
In fact it depends on which part of BT you are dealing with!
Services (line rental, packages & bill payment etc.) = NO!
BT Shop (for purchasing goods) = YES!
You'd think a company as big as BT could have the same c/card policy throughout, but no.0 -
TV Licensing do not accept Amex.0
