I used to have an Amex Gold card, was in Brazil when they called to let me know they'd seen some dodgy transactions (someone buying stuff in Sweden on my card - obviously Volvo, IKEA and something else ;) about $5-700 worth at each place). I was grateful they noticed and blocked the card. I asked about the guarantee to get me a new card within 24 hours, as I was in some far away-ish vacation town I was ok with them getting it to my hotel when I would return to Rio two days later. Never received a replacement. I got it back home in Sweden when I returned. Never bothered with them since.
