Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: 1. Agent misspoke when booking the initial flight to XXXX ( XXXX $ ) stating that the airline can accommodate my XXXX to lay flat as needed for long travel as not doing so leads to an active flare-up of said XXXX. The airline could also not accommodate me in choosing my own seat per the airline. 2. Agent then could not get in contact with the airline to confirm thus turning contacting the airline into a multiple-day crusade lasting 9.5 hours 3. Once we were finally able to get in contact with the airline, it had passed the 24 hours cancellation policy thus I could not be refunded due to the agents misinformation. Additionally, I was not offered travel insurance on the initial booking in case reaching to airline took a while 4. THEN, I decided to choose another airline that would have the ability to be more accommodating after getting in touch with the airline with one of your agents. 5. So I rebooked the flight on the new airline which was {$2700.00} and hoped that the issues would be resolved 6. HOWEVER, it was not explained to me that my flight was a coshare flight ( Thus it was actually the initial airline I did not want to book with ) meaning that I had to check in with the operating airline as opposed to the airline I purchased the ticket with. 7. This caused a lot of confusion as I was not on the manifest once arriving to the airport which caused me to miss my connection flight when I got to the airport and that caused a lot of mental stress. Because I missed my connection flight, I had to stay in XXXX overnight and pay for those accommodations ( XXXX ) 8. Again, when I went to the airport the next morning to check in, the airlines ( both XXXX and XXXX XXXX ) stated I did not have a ticket with them. They told me that the flight was cancelled Although, I had confirmation of the change in itinerary In my email AND had the physical ticket in hand. They stated that it couldnt be modified due to the fact that I booked with the American Express travel agent. At this point, there were no more nonstop flights available to my destination thus I had to take TWO more connecting flights. This added upwards of 6 hours to my initial journey. 9. In the midst of all of this, my luggage was then lost due to the miscommunication of my airline tickets. 10. On the way backI was having the same issue of not being able to check online in as the airline could not find my ticket. Once speaking with the American Express agent, I was told that the flight was cancelled and that there were no more flights available for that day. This completely contradicted what the airline told me however since booking with Amex, I could not modify my itinerary without extra cost. This led to me having to stay on the phone for 5.5 hours just to rectify this flight. I had to also purchase another connection flight which was XXXX $ and I was not able to get my refund back from my initial connection flight which was only changed because you all told me there were no other flights available. 11. In conclusion, I received terrible service that caused me to become financially and mentally burdened with trying to fix all of the problems your agents caused. Upon looking at the flight information again, it looks like you all booked two passengers on the flight one with my name and the other with my middle name first which is a sure fire way to cause issues when travelling internationally. I have attached a word document with more information as well as pictures.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Funds not received from closed account

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022, I opened two checking accounts with American Express National Bank. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a direct deposit from XXXX in the amount of {$17000.00}. I transferred {$1000.00} to my savings account that same day. Upon using the accounts, I noticed that on XX/XX/XXXX my savings account was closed and the {$1000.00} I had in that account had been " debited ''. Alarmed, I attempted to transfer the majority of the funds left to my XXXX checking account. However, a few hours later I received an email informing me that my transfer had failed. Then, I logged into my account to find that it was restricted. When I called into the service center, I was told that my account had been reviewed and closed. Okay, that's not a problem I said. When should I expect my funds? The CSR informed me that money would be returned to where it came from and she wouldn't even tell me where the initial {$1000.00} went.

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I'm XXXX XXXX, and I need your help in reaching this company. I made an attempt to get in touch with them to ask why someone had registered an account in my name. This is a serious matter, and I'm unhappy that it's now affecting my credit score. As it also violates data privacy, I do not let anybody to use my name, date of birth, or any other information.

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: American Express closed my account due to two payments being returned. The payments were returned because the linked bank account was compromised from a lost debit card. I have always made all of my payments on time and have never had a late payment. Even after AMEX closed the account, I continued to make on time payments and the balance on the account is only {$200.00}, which will be paid this week. As a service member, we sometimes do not get communication that our accounts may be compromised.

Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Consumer Complaint: I was approved for a charge card with American Express in XX/XX/2020. The card has no preset spending limit, however for the last several months I have had ongoing issues using my card and understanding my credit limit. I have used my card numerous time and it has been declined, which quite embarrassing when using it in a public place. In addition, I receive ongoing emails about how future purchase may be declined, when I have a low balance. I need to feel comfortable using this credit card.
