Subissue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Consumer Complaint: I booked a hotel stay through the American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program on XX/XX/XXXX, for a stay at the XXXX XXXX DC from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. American Express 's stated ( among other benefits ) the following benefits for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program : {$200.00} in statement credits each year on prepaid bookings with American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX for two {$100.00} experience credit I received the {$200.00} statement credit upon prepayment. I discovered that I was charged {$170.00} upon checkout on XX/XX/XXXX, including {$160.00} for room service breakfast for both days. I called American Express on XX/XX/XXXX, and spent 26 minutes on hold while they researched the benefits. They were unable to provide me a satisfactory explanation as to : 1. the reason for charging breakfast, which should have been included 2. the reason the experience credit was not applied, if breakfast was not included I believe this to be a clear violation of the benefits that are stated directly on their webpage : I was advised to call back to start the entire process over again. https : //www.americanexpress.com/en-us/travel/benefits/how-to-use-hotel-credit/

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: According to my credit report the account was opened XXXX and had a total balance of XXXX.

Each branch is suggesting that they once had possession of this account and has since been transferred several months ago to another division to have it serviced. I have had several managers document this frustrating matter under my social security # and suggest it will be escalated to the property department. Each department claims they no longer are serving this account. IF i need to include the account number let me know?

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Someone added me as an authorized user on their American Express card. Amex did not disclose that it will report the opened date of the account instead of the original primary account holder information as it is. They never disclosed the right information and what they reported impacted my credit score and the age of the accounts. Amex is not following the same practices that other credit card companies follow. I want to report this so that the Amex policies can be audited.
