I applied for an American Express card a while ago cos they had some cashback deal going on, but I've never used it, mainly because very few places seem to accept it. They are introducing a £20 'dormancy fee' if you don't use it over 12 months, so I've cancelled it.
But seriously, maybe it's different in the US/around the world, but here, online and in shops etc, it's pretty much pointless.
It has this stupid section on their site which is called 'where to use your American Express card' – so I thought, 'oh is this a list of major retailers etc'. But no it's just a handy list of things you could buy with a credit card, if they accepted it. Eg.
Petrol
Clothes
Food and Drink
etc etc
🙄
Ridiculous!!! Weird how they are such a household name with major advertising yet there are seemingly a very limited amount of places you can use the damn cards!
