I started using the AMEX credit card from 2 years back, as the sales person promised lots of rewards and free for first year and Rs.5,000/- from second year onwards. In the first one year, I got only rewards worth Rs.2,000 against the promised rewards of around Rs. 20,000/-. Just to mention,I am using Citi Bank CC for more than 7 years and I get around Rs.10000 worth rewards annually for the same amount of transactions made. Also the AMEX cards were not accepted in most of the merchants including fuel-stations.
End of first year, I refused to renew the card for next year, but the AMEX customer support convinced me by extending the card for one more year just by adjusting the whole reward points worth Rs.2,000 + cash charge of Rs. 1000 in next month bill for the next year service charge. I almost stopped using that card from that date.
To the worst, in the last few months, I saw few wrong transactions made by AMEX on my card (saying Payment inwards/adjusted) and I got the bill to pay Rs.15500 in that month.
After which, I started following with AMEX customer support, but there is no proper response; Every time, they say we are verying and get back to you shortly, but no response next couple of weeks. To the bad, I am receiving payment reminder letter every month at my address.
I strongly recommend not to use AMEX for personal use. I also use the same AMEX corp card for my official use, it seems okay there (not excellent).
Please let me know how to fix this issue and get ride of this issue.
Thanks,
Velu
