*Subject: Poor Customer Service and Mismanagement – Consider Switching to Visa or Mastercard** I am extremely disappointed with the service I’ve received from American Express. Despite requesting multiple times to change my debit date from the end of the month to mid-month, nothing was ever done. Each request was ignored or mishandled. On top of that, I was advised to transfer funds to lower my balance, which I did, only to find that Amex still charged me the full amount without considering my credit. The credit was rolled over to the next month, which was not helpful. I asked for the credit to be refunded to my bank account and was assured it would be. After waiting over 25 days, nothing happened. When I followed up, I was told the system had canceled the request, despite receiving multiple confirmations that the money would arrive by a specific date. Adding to the frustration, I was informed I could withdraw money from an ATM. I even calculated my withdrawal limit with one of the agents. But when I went to the ATM, I received a message saying, “Please contact your bank.” Upon contacting Amex again, I was told I’m not allowed to withdraw until one year has passed, something that was never mentioned before. The level of miscommunication, poor customer service, and repeated failures to follow through are unacceptable. I expected far better from a company like Amex. If you are considering a credit card, I strongly suggest running away from Amex and transitioning to Visa or Mastercard. Their services and customer care are far more reliable, and you won’t have to endure the endless frustrations I’ve encountered with Amex.
