              I applied and received a Business platinum card, the card advertised $400 a year in **** credit, $200 every 6 months. I immediately spent $1000 at **** following the receipt of the card just to later learn that I had to be enrolled first to receive the benefit. It was not clearly apparent and I feel it was dishonest. I called Amex and they were unwilling to assist.

              Can't give a low enough score. **** is holding 20-year card holder responsible for nearly $500 fraudulent taxi ride in ******. The ride should have been $25-$45 but driver kept saying card reader not working so gave him cash. Amex *** called at airport to say noticed suspicious activity. I explained and he said we'll take care of you. We have your back. Next thing I know when it post they and I dispute the charge, Amex accepted an "X" as a signature. I have a master's degree, a journalist and never have used an X for anything. Now **** is holding me responsible and want a receipt. tell me, how do I have a receipt for a fraudulent charge??? Do they give receipts for that now. I can never trust **** and advise others not to as well. I was ripped off twice. by the taxi and by American Express. Beware of this company
