@AskAmex This is a VERY general OPINION based on your servers being “down” last night. When that happens & phone ***istance & internet is unavailable, your social media needs to be available 24/7 & the DM needs to be open.

@ShadiBartsch I suggest that you call 311 and make a police report over the phone, then have Amex issue you a new card, then contact Experian (1-888-Experian), Equifax (1-800-525-6285), and TransUnion Fraud (1-800-680-7289), all the three major credit-rating companies.

@OverusedNamex @JamesGunn It may sell toys. But this build your own story stuff is just pandering to rabid fans. Some films you will like, some you might not. That’s cinema really.

What is the problem with American Express?

The different fees often make or break a deal for a merchant. This is why many merchants, especially small businesses, don't accept American Express. American Express' interchange fee is just too high. Providers like Visa and Mastercard charge between 1.15% and 2.5%, while Amex charges merchants between 1.43% and 3.3%.

Has American Express Been Hacked?

Contents. If you're one of its 140 million cardholders around the globe, American Express wants you to know that your data is safe. The data breach recently announced by the U.S.' second largest credit card network reportedly involved a partner merchant and not Amex itself.

How do you unfreeze American Express?

If you'd like to unfreeze your card at any point during the 7-day period, log back in to the Amex account. If you log in online, follow the same steps you took to freeze the card. On the app, you will see a button that says “Unfreeze your card” on the home page.

Where does American Express not work?

Places Where American Express is Not Accepted: Cuba, Sudan, South Sudan, Iran, Syria. Major Retailers That Accept American Express: Amazon, IKEA, Sears, Target, Walmart, Lowe's, Apple, Best Buy, Staples, CVS. Major Retailers That Don't Accept American Express: Costco, small non-chain stores/restaurants.
