Who Does/Does Not Accept Amex?

Starting today, Aldi (in England) are now accepting American Express!

Saw this on https://www.headforpoints.com this morning, and just used my Amex in my local Aldi.

(Don't know if this is UK wide or not.)

Oddly, nothing in my local store or on the Aldi website about the change.

The stickied original post is more like a history article that meaningful information now. Most of those shops on the no list take Amex! Or are gone entirely.

First post here.... Used Amex via Android Pay at my local Aldi, tonight. They had a tap to pay poster that included Amex. Having spent most of my Amex Rewards, Aldi is a very nice addition!

If you pay with Amex through Google Pay rather than the Amex card, is it any different from the merchants perspective, i.e. can i now use my amex in more places through Google pay?

No, it's the same.

Most places take Amex now and half the places on the original list have gone bust.

Aldi doesn't, well atleast the back of the receipt doesn't say they do anyway.

Aldi should be accepting Amex in all their UK stores since 1 Feb.

The original list looks very out-of-date, and isn't accurate. I don't know if it varies by individual shop, but my nearest B&Q definitely does NOT accept Amex, yet it's shown on the Green list as accepting it, and also in the list apparently provided by Amex!
