I am a long time AMEX card holder and liked the fact that I had to pay it off every month as I don't like carrying a lot of debt. I'm about to tell them to kiss off as AMEX has signed me up for several "clubs" and magazine subscriptions without my active participation. I called customer service to ask how they think they can get away with this fraud and all CS would say was it is a Marketing promotion. Isn't this practice illegal? Is there anything I can do short of cancellng my card to stop this practice? Bomber |
I realize I'm not obligated to pay, but I also do not want to have to call them every month to dispute the charges. They told me last month it would be taken care of...

I wish you would have heard my telephone conversation with them

Call - ask to speak to a supervisor and tell them that you are asserting your rights under the FTC guidelines to be removed from all marketing initiatives. |

I too have been a member for a long time. I turned in a flight reward for 100,000 miles last summer. I have used AMEX literally all over the world (China to Europe to Medellin Columbia). I have never had an issue with them. That's why my post has been fairly tame. Bomber |
