“Amex suspended all my cards, then reinstated them again”

One premium credit card that’s totally worth the annual fee!

Post Covid, we’ve seen issuers really ramp up annual fees on credit cards. We’re not far away from seeing a premium card that charges an annual fee of $1,000!

  1. Amex has cancelled my platinum credit card without any rhyme or reason.
    It has taken a full year’s membership fee and also usurped all my bonus points.

    I am taking it up with the Ombudsman. They are giving frivolous reasons and not replying when I sent them some proofs.
