    I genuinely would not have applied for this card if I had known that some companies don't accept it.

    On that basis, you shouldn't bother holding any credit cards. Some companies will not take them.

    B&Q definitely don't take Amex. But you can buy B&Q gift cards with an Amex, at Wilko for example.

    Wickes take Amex in store but not on line. But you can buy on line using PayPal charged to your Amex. This trick works for a few on line retailers, but you are probably losing S75 protection.

    Screwfix take Paypal (therefore AMEX). But don't take "raw" AMEX

    Aldi accepts Amex.
    I would like to add that if you are ordering from a Company online and they don't take Amex but do use PayPal then you can set up your Amex card as a payment option.
