I use AMEX because their anti-fraud and customer service is the best I've ever experienced. I refuse to use Chase anything because of how poorly they treat their lower income customers (staging transactions to maximize overdraft fees, etc.) When I'm someplace that won't take AMEX, I use Discover. If they won't take Discover I use my credit union Visa.

About the same fun as banks cashing checks in order to maximize overdraft fees. AMEX also does the Bluebird cards which are pretty nice for poor folks since you can do direct deposit to the card itself and it has no charge refilling at Walmart.
