I worked for a US SaaS company about 10 years ago. Every new engineer got a MacBook, iPhone, 3G wifi access point, branded shoulder bag ... And an AMEX. In Europe. Oh how we laughed.
Every time we went to an event on the company dime, we always had to go through the charade in every hotel and restaurant. "Do you accept American Express?"... "Haha, nope!" (To the line of colleagues waiting to check in) "They don't take AMEX". "Bollocks. Well, no surprise." So everyone puts their travel, hotel and meals on their personal Visa/MasterCard and claims back expenses later. I don't think I ever used that AMEX
