Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer

Subissue: Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer

Consumer Complaint: I dont have the energy to elaborate on this but they know what they did. My first stimulus payment was loaded onto Amex serve by direct deposit and almost immediately, along with the rest of my money on there, used fraudulently. The terms of use for serve guarantee no liability for unauthorized transactions, and the law requires them to provide consumers documentation on their disputes process on request. Neither their own contract nor the law were respected by this awful company. It has been unloaded to incomm since this happened but it was still under American Expresss ownership de jure when this occurred.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers

Subissue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Consumer Complaint: American Express is advertising offers for members to be reimbursed for a variety of services. However, to actually get the reimbursement, you have to contact them multiple times, they will try to deny it, or will deny it based on " term and conditions '' that are not anywhere on the website. I've spent over {$150.00} that the card won't reimburse.

Subissue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XX/XX/2021, I contact the Hilton Honors program to claim my free night as per the credit card agreement and email from Amex on how to request a free night. I was told by Hilton that there were no free nights in the system. I called Amex and XXXX gave me the XXXX valid Hilton free night award certificate numbers, we then went on a conference call with Hilton. XXXX, from Hilton, stated that the numbers Amex was providing were not valid. On XXXX XX/XX/2021, I contacted Amex again and was told they were investigating. On XXXX XX/XX/2021, I contacted Hilton and they again said they numbers from Amex were invalid. What is the point of having a co-branded credit card with Hilton if Amex does not provide the free nights as promised? On XXXX XX/XX/2021, I again contacted Amex and was assured they are working on the case- but to contact them " back within XXXX days. '' It is unacceptable that what is described as a simple process on the Amex web page and the Hilton Honors site is not being followed by these XXXX companies.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Banking errors

Consumer Complaint: Signed up for Kabbage checking account offering a {$300.00} cash bonus if terms are met. Met the terms of the promotion. Account was then locked for security reasons for several weeks. After hours and hours on hold I finally got Kabbage to unlock the account and confirm that I met the terms of the {$300.00} cash bonus. Said that due to an " error '' the {$300.00} would need to manually credited. The bonus has still not been applied to the account and I'm afraid to use the checking account because it was locked for no reason. I can not get anybody in customer service to respond to me either by email or by phone. When I call the phone, I wait on hold for 30-60 minutes and then am automatically disconnected. This is the worst, most disorganize, most understaffed bank I've ever dealt with. Give me the {$300.00} bonus I am due, per your own promotion terms. This promotion is STILL BEING ACTIVELY ADVERTISED HERE : https : //www.kabbage.com/checking/
