Over the last 5 years I have had the same acceptance rate of AMEX in Europe and I've had in the US. As in, the same distribution of restaurants accept them, or more obviously the same distribution of places that told me they didn't accept it. Its not a quantitative analysis, but one user experience. I am aware AMEX did a big push for more acceptance, my point is that I think it worked, and public perception is just lagging behind.
