  • American Express Credit Card

    Flexibilities are amazing but protection limited.

    The rewards systems and flexibility is the main appeal. However, processes are long especially in regards to disputes. There is lack of protection and communications.

    AMEX is awesome for QANTAS points

    Loved my AMEX card and how helpful they have been with any issues or even once a scam. It's easy to use and see my points accumulating. Perhaps the app needs an update or fresh look though.

    Great card for all

    Fantastic customer service and bonus offers, love getting money off every month with certain deals. The essential is the best as there is no annual fee.

  • American Express

    Overall good card

    Good rewards points that you can use to pay interest charges. But not all businesses accept american express so it limits its use. Would be handy for travel though.

  • American Express Qantas Premium Card

    Okay

    I just feel it's quite a vanilla offering. They've become complacent, and should strive to offer more.

    Amex is the go to for no annual fee rewards cards

    Since joining last year in 2022, American Express earns my highest recommendation due to the support team's outstanding customer service and the benefits of their Essentials Credit Card. This card impressively provides 1.25 Membership Reward points (excluding government transactions which provides 1 point) per dollar spent without any annual fee, effectively offering a 0.06% cashback on virtually all purchases. These points never expire, allowing you to accumulate them for long-term benefits. Additionally, the exclusive deals they offer for selected stores via their app and website help you reduce your costs on everyday purchases, adding extra value to the card. However, some merchants might not accept American Express cards and foreign transaction fees apply will apply for overseas purchases (in person/online) similar to most other credit cards. Overall, American Express stands out as a reliable choice for those seeking exceptional customer service, a no fee card that still rewards you for spending and discounts on everyday shopping.

  • American Express Credit Card

    Travel credit expired w/o reminder

    I've been with them for years. I paid a $450 annual fee on the Ultimate card for the $450 travel credit. I messed up the date of the travel credit expiration. They sent spam promotion emails every 1 or 2 days but didn't manage to send email reminders to remind me of the expiring credit. The reason I messed up the date is, I applied for the card in the middle of the month, but they charged the renewal card fee at the end of the month. After years, I cannot remember the date I applied but I can only see the fee charge date, so I expected it's the date that the credit expires, but it's not. Anyway, they should've done this easily but they choose not to. Cancelled my card straight away.

  • American Express Qantas Ultimate Card

    Terrible customer service

    So you go along for months, paying in full, using their preferred payment method until it suddenly stops working. You get a message to ‘contact card member service’ You call them to find out they are ‘closed’ even though the web page says they are open. You get on a text chat and after 40 minutes of wasted time you finally get someone who tells you it’s your problem, your web browser, your computer. You try a different web browser in a different computer, and it still doesn’t work. But you are reassured it’s ‘your problem’ You request the issue be looked into to find that a month later you will need to go through the same hour long process to pay for bill. Pointless nonsense, too many hoops to jump through. Stick with your bank, o matter how frustrated you are with them, they somehow seem to manage to work things out, but Amex… 2 months later it’s still my problem their web page won’t process my payment!

  • American Express Credit Card

    Robbery

    Amex, a company of huge calibre, has shamelessly stolen $450 from me. I paid the $450 yearly fee, which translates into a travel credit. I contacted Amex to ask when this year's fee would be charged, so I could make sure I used the travel credit in time. They said it would be April 19th; however, the travel credit had expired on March 31. I had been hospitalised for spinal surgery and could not walk, never mind take care of any of my financial responsibilities. I am aware of multiple cases of travel credit extensions without any extenuating circumstances. In this exceptional situation, they decided not to lift a finger to help me use the travel credit I had paid for and was entitled to. They manipulated the situation but removing the travel credit 3 weeks before the actual renewal, creating intentional confusion. Beyond disappointed, will not be dealing with them ever again.

    Easy to earn points

    The discovery card makes it really easy to earn Qantas points for my everyday expenses. No fee makes it even better

  • American Express Credit Card

    Poor Customer Services by American Express.

    I had card cancelled without sending me the card. I called customer services in Philippine/Malaysia and very bad experience. Customer service people have very ordinary skills and terrible in dealing. I never see any company using Philippine/Malaysia customer services have skilled people. These only speak good english and behave like a Robot. I never see they resolve any issue. American Express making billion of $, charging marchents and customer so much money but want the cheap options for their customer services. I want everyone to check which cheap country optios for such big companies (billion dollar revenue) and using cheapest options without any good services. So frustrating these days companies only care about how much money they can save and customer there to suffer.
