Issue: Trouble using the card

Subissue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

Consumer Complaint: I was gifted a {$100.00} gift card, from Amexgiftcard.com Ive tried using the gift card at numerous retailers, such as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and even tried to add it to my XXXX account to send money. None of these worked and the payment is declined. I attempted to load {$50.00} on my XXXX account on XX/XX/XXXX - payment was declined. I attempted to load it in my XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX - the transaction was {$97.00} and change ( was trying to account for 3 % transaction fee ) - didnt work. The XXXX transaction I attempted was {$55.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. After that didnt work, I attempted a XXXX XXXX for {$59.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The Amex website has a Help section with only a bunch of FAQs and a phone number. Ive called the number and request to be connected with a customer service agent and am put on hold indefinitely, never able to connect with anyone. This seems like a complete scam. I can see that the website tracks the transactions Ive tried to make because Ive seen the balance go down by about {$0.00} to account for the transaction fee from, say, XXXX. After several business days the balance returns to the full {$100.00} because the retailer rejected the payment method.

Subissue: Problem with customer service

Consumer Complaint: I bought XXXX tickets XXXX on XXXX XXXX Amex. I purchased Trip Guard for all XXXX tickets. I am Amex XXXX. Card ending : XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called and cancelled one of the travellers, XXXX XXXX and claimed trip guard insurance. Horrible service, took almost two hours. Recently I got an email from Amex saying XXXX XXXX refused to pay insurance because XXXX had given me airline credit. I called XXXX they said no credit had been issued nor had they even been contacted by Amex. Amex has engaged in insurance fraud. They offer and sell trip guard insurance and then deny coverage on false arguments. I spent 1 hour on calls today with Amex, one employee hung up the phone, others offered no solution. Fraudulent and egregious conduct. I demand reimbursement of the price I paid for useless trip guard or coverage for the XXXX XXXX ticket. In parallel to complaining directly to Amex I am filing complaints with XXXX, CFPB and FTC. I will also be cancelling my Amex cards this year. Trip ID : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Trip Cancel Guard Identification Number : XXXX
