AmEx Card

lomond125

On the last couple of programs this card has been given as one to have,however I applied for a nectar card which was giving bonus points and was AmEx.
When I tried to make purchases or pay for car and house insurance I found that it was not acceptable because it was A.E.
I have now cancelled it.

Wrong board i'm afraid... this is the freebies "no spend required" board.... with any luck a board guide will come along and move it to the correct place for you...

This is still the wrong board... dont get so narked up!

Plenty of places accept AE just not as many as Visa and Mastercard. This is because AE charge such a high amount for a vendor to process the card payment!

Sounds like you're cutting off your nose to spite your face, a tad.

I have a nectar Amex...yeah, sure, some places don't take it, but if I use it in places that do, I get nectar points on it...Some nectar points here and there (especially sainsburys, bp etc) is better than no nectar points...

i took out hte amex nectar card - to replace another card and hit the same issue....... but throughly enjoyed the double nectar points for hte ifrst 3 months.......... a pain i know, but now switched over to sainsburys nectar card - points not quite as good, but still more than i would have got before the amex card

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
