Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Charged too much interest

Consumer Complaint: My American Express full statement payment of XXXX was due on XX/XX/XXXX. I paid the full amount on XX/XX/XXXX. Amex charged me an interest of XXXX for this XXXX day late payment, which is 14,132.5 % in yearly interest. When contacting Amex today, I was told that this is standard practice. I think that this practice is outrageous and should be terminated.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Consumer Complaint: American Express moved me from paper statements to paperless billing without my knowledge or consent. I do not have an online account. I never signed up for paperless and I don't want to. As a result I receive NO bills and my payments are invariably delayed. I have tried multiple times to fix this situation with American Express by requesting a return to regular paper bills. American Express refuses to do this - even though the move to paperless billing was not authorized by me in the first place. Any help you can give would be appreciated

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers

Subissue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from American Express ( AMEX Bonvoy ) with a partner offerIf I signed up for an annual membership with Clear they would credit me back the {$170.00} annual fee if I used my Bonvoy card. I opened up the annual membership on XX/XX/XXXX and then sat back and waited for AMEX to credit me back the {$170.00}, but after five weeks and an entire billing cycle had lapsed, I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX. I opened a ticket and explained I followed the steps in the email but they closed the ticket and never sent me a notification of the cancellation. I called again today and after speaking with the department that handles " unfulfilled offers '' they told me that because I did not " add the offer to my card through my online account '' they could not credit me back the {$170.00}. I escalated it to a supervisor and told him the large type in the middle of the email said nothing about adding the offer to my card first, but he rebutted with " well, it's in the small print terms and conditions '' at the bottom of the email so those are the terms they stand by. Bottom line I have no recourse through that department. I called back to the regular customer service and demanded they give me a service credit for the inconvenience, and, shockingly, even after being escalated again, they did not grant that as well. I've been a member of AMEX since XXXX and have had 3-4 cards with them. Shame on them.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2021 @ approximately XXXX, our small 2 person mobile repair company received a call from a truck owner who had a driver in distress on the interstate. Our mobile mechanic was dispatched and found the customers issue, in which he repaired. The customer was billed, the invoice sent via square text services and he then paid the invoice in full using his American Express Card. And the driver was on his way. The owner called back shortly after to advise the driver was pulled over about 30 miles from the original site with another issue. Our mechanic returned to the truck and found another issue in which we advised required a part in which our parts vendor wasnt able to provide until next day after noon. As an alternative, the mechanic repaired the truck enough for the driver to return to home where we advised it would need to be seen immediately by the customers mechanic. As a courtesy, the customer was not charged for the return back to the truck. A message notating the visit was sent which documented the encounter. Later that afternoon, the owner called a third time to advise the driver never left and they wanted us to get the part and repair the truck. This was done and billed. The customer paid agin using XXXX and the driver was on his way. We later received an email from square stating the customer never received the first charge we of course disputed and they still ruled in the customers favor as if they did not receive the repairs.
