- toss1 4y agoHaHa, yup, but it seems they're fat & happy where they are, with high fees on both sides. Their services are so much better than V/Mc that they could rapidly swamp V/Mc, IFF they'd reduce their fees. But they are obviously not interested in any other than the market segments they've got.
- sgjohnson 4y agoI doubt they care, as their business is built on quality, not quantity. Average Amex cardholder already charged to their card roughly 10x of what the average non-amex cardholder charges.

- Rackedup 4y agoIt's pretty rare that my AMEX card gets refused...
- ab-dm 4y agoMight depend on the country. It happens a fair bit down in Australia
- ryandrake 4y agoMaybe USA-specific, but I've been AMEX-only for around 20 years, and have no regrets. They handle fraud and chargebacks with almost no effort or followup required. Very infrequently, I'll run into a cheap-ass merchant who doesn't take AMEX, and I will either not do business with them or just pay in cash.
- withinboredom 4y agoYeah, AMEX has lots of issues getting accepted outside the US. Some places won't accept tap-to-pay for Amex, but only chip+pin, or various other oddities, if they accept it at all.
