Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: Was notified via phone message from " American Express fraud department '' someone had tried to open an account in my name, was asked to verify my social security number, name, and date of birth. After two attempted phone calls back to American Express, I retrieved a safe phone number I thought from American Express website I did verify my name, date of birth, and only the last 4 digits of my social security number. The date was XX/XX/2021. I ran a credit report today XX/XX/2021, it shows a " Hard Inquiries '' on XX/XX/2021, from AMEX as well as XXXX XXXX/XXXX on the same day. I did NOT request to open either of these accounts. I will attempt to notify American Express again. Thank you

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers

Subissue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of this year I received a promotional offer from American Express to apply for a 4.00 % interest rate on purchase for 12 moths. I called the 800 number to do so and provided them with the promotional code. The AMEX rep could not find it. It took her about 15 minutes and she found it but said she could not process it and sent me to their website. I look into the website and under their promotional offers and could not locate. I called back and was told I could scan the offer bar code which I did but it would not come up. I registered a complaint and received a call about 2 weeks later. The AMEX rep apologized, took down my information and said they would get back to me which they never did. I was going to put a golf club purchase of {$1200.00} using this promotional offer. I did not. I actually put it on my AMEX and paid if off the following month.

Subissue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Consumer Complaint: I received my monthly bill showing several charges for extra airline luggage we checked on a flight to XXXX Ohio on XX/XX/XXXX and to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The amounts were {$100.00} each way. In XXXX AMEX asked me to upgrade my credit card which would increase my annual membership {$150.00} per year. One of the caveats to this was I would get {$100.00} credit on anything I purchased with the airline if I used my AMEX card to book the flight which I did. I was given this in XX/XX/XXXX but when I called about my {$100.00} credit for this for the XX/XX/XXXX charges I was told that I had to register the airline with AMEX to get this. I was never told that and if I was, I would not have taken it because I fly different airlines depending on costs, layovers, etc. Their response was they would not give the {$100.00} credit and when I told them to downgrade my card so I would not pay the extra {$150.00} per year, I was told I would have to go with a standard AMEX XXXX card. I have been a loyal, on time paying Gold Card member since XXXX. I would think that 31 years of loyalty would be something but instead it is okay we will charge you more, not honor what we told you and if you don't like it we will downgrade your card. I guess since I pay it off monthly they are not making enough money off me.

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: I had ordered a shirt and two wallets from XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$1200.00} being charged on my gold American Express card. The signature was required which is great because my parents were home. I got home from work and the box was tampered, it had a slit on the side with tape.. i took pictures before i even opened the box. As i was opening the box i started to take more pictures because i noticed the only thing inside was the wrapping paper and thats all. None of my items that i ordered were there and so i then called to see what was going on and my American Express opened a dispute on this, i just got rebilled for the full amount Im not sure why and i dont understand how either. They spoke to someone in the dispute department and told me that XXXX said on their end that the package was delivered. YES the box was delivered but with nothing inside and it was tampered. How is that my problem? I dont understand how i have to be liable for something i never received. I still have the pictures i took so Im attaching them to this. Thankyou

Consumer Complaint: I am a victim of identity theft. Due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, we are all facing which has me sitting still at home and I saw the recent news about the multiple XXXX Data breaches.

I appreciate your effort in getting this matter resolved. Thank you. Please let me know if you need any other information from me to block this information from my credit report. Thank you.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: My card was lost. There is transactions I saw on my statement made on XX/XX/2021 to XX/XX/2021. These were not made by me. I have try to dispute all these transactions with Bluebird American Express twice so far and they have deny me. They have taken almost 10 days both times to just deny me. I have open the dispute again a third time and need help. I feel like they are trying to keep my money. I have read so many reviews of them denying people 's claims for no reason when there is clearly unauthorized transactions. I had to get a whole new card because mine was lost. I'm just trying to get the funds back that were unauthorized between XX/XX/2021 to XX/XX/2021.

Issue: Trouble using the card

Subissue: Trouble getting information about the card

Consumer Complaint: 1. I require *all* transaction information on my account ending in XXXX, subsequent to the XX/XX/2021 statement period. 2. My account was closed by American Express on XX/XX/2021. 3. As a result, I lost all access to online transaction information. 4. Additionally, telephone customer service can provide no transaction information. 5. In connection with three prior CFPB complaints regarding the remaining funds in the account, which were finally remitted to my bank, American Express provided me with all statements on the account through the statement for the period ending XX/XX/2021. 6. However, there appear to have been a great many transactions for which I still have no record, for the time period from XX/XX/2021 to XX/XX/2021. 7. I require this information for my accounting purposes. 8. I was never provided a statement for what would have been the period ending in XX/XX/2021. 9. I have absolutely no access to this information which has been permanently withheld from me by American Express.
