- wil421 8y agoYes at least the U.K. isn’t as obsessed with cash as Germany is. I had trouble until on of my Europoeran colleagues told me about Amex Vicinity. You can see places around you and it can make it easier to use corporate Amex cards.[1] [1]https://www430.americanexpress.com/mrec/mersearch/index?intcLang=en_US&dom_country=US https://www430.americanexpress.com/mrec/mersearch/index?intc...

Those rules mostly don't apply to Amex (they were not considered part of the Visa-MC duopoly).
