    Really? Why so obtuse?

    The card company/issuer

    I already answered the question.

    American Express is the exclusive lender.

    It is a tailored company account, but is based on the The American Express®
    Platinum Business Card.

    The main introductory offer for this card is 40,000 extra Membership Rewards points if you spend £6,000 in the first 3 months.
  • No, you said a tailored company card BASED ON Amex.

    Anyways, I'm done here

    You interpreted the sentence incorrectly.

    When I said "based on" I meant the card type. AMEX start with the card and then tailor certain features to your business.

    If I didn't include American Express in the name of the card, you wouldn't know who the provider was, however I understand this may have caused you to think I was referring to basing it on the brand itself.

    The main area where customers come in and wait. It is a business account, which means it is used for and within the business...

    I sort of knew that already but my main question was the second. I work in the early afternoon but the postman comes between 10 and 12. If 2nd class parcels aren't delivered by the postman like letters then I need to know whether to book the afternoon off. It sounds like a silly question but its well founded given the voucher value.

    This is what happens when they leave things outside your door and you have thieves as neighbors on several occasions :(

    You really have lost all credibility.
    Your company is important enough to Amex that they provide the company with a tailored company account based on the The American Express® Platinum Business Card and you are senior enough in that company to be the person responsible for applying for this card and presumably discussing the 'tailored' requirements with them, yet you say you work only early afternoons and are considering booking an afternoon off to wait at home for the postman to deliver this gift to your home address!
    Do you not see the inconsistency here?

    I don't see the inconsistency, but I do see someone with too much time on their hands. There isn't a question of credibility here, as there is nothing for me to be held credible for. I asked for some answers to my questions, not an award trophy, hence I never disclosed in's and out's until asked.

    I asked a question, I received an answer "depends on each area" and that is it. I didn't ask for the third-degree on who, what, where and how.

    As for each so-called inconsistency:

    1. I come into the workplace to ensure there are no problems and address them if such arise. I have staff to run the business. When I work is irrelevant to anyone here, as credibility is irrelevant and I'm certainly not going to be a lackey in my own company.

    2. Obtaining the card was a mutual concession between myself and the accountant, although once again this isn't anyone's business here, as credibility is irrelevant.

    3. I was happy to book the afternoon off, as my neighbors are not honest and 2nd class is lower-tier enough for the postman to leave it outside the door. American Express have already relieved any liability regarding delivery and won't replace any stolen appeasements. Once again, when; where or how I work isn't anyone's business here, as credibility is irrelevant.

    4. I specifically requested the card and appeasements to be sent to my personal address, as the business owner, I am entitled to have such registered to the account, in addition to the businesses information. Once again, wherever it was sent to, home or business address, isn't anyone's business here, as credibility is irrelevant.

    I'm sure there's plenty to be said here, but let's save the trivial story credibility verification for another time shall we.

    I felt the person's message I quoted on the post was sarcastic, so my response was also to put what I said into context, as the person must've interpreted it differently.

    How very dare you, I find your attitude very impertinent. Sarcastic indeed, I was only offering advice.

    I hope you enjoy you business award and only hope your business proves to be successful so you can move from your crime ridden neighbourhood

    ps Can you please send a photo of your awards cabinet?

    Why is this even posted in the credit card forum anyway? It is a package delivery question, even though it was initiated by having credit card exclusivity ;)

    It stared out as a credit card exclusivity gift and has ended up as a Queens Industry Award, posted out second class. Why they would use second class post for such a prestigious award is anyone's guess? Maybe the Queen cant afford a courier after the cost of the wedding?
