My FRiends, I will likely go back to Amex once this tribute to sinful behavior is over. This is obviously a ploy by the marketing "experts" at Amex to get attention from the homosexual community. In the case of my business, it is backfiring on Amex.

Once Amex dumps this overt expression of approval, I will probably go back to using the card.

I view this differently than Target, because Target is engaging in a year round effort to encourage bad behaviour.

Hope some of you will join me.

This is what I am talking about

Well they’ll notice that my monthly contribution to them will go missing - around $700 (but reimbursed by my company) - for the month.

I have an AMEX card through Fidelity Investments. Fidelity just canned AMEX and is replacing it with a Visa credit card.

[CodeToad]

I stopped using AmEx since 2002 when I realized their cards had no advantage anymore.

Back in the day AmEx used to be the only travel card that guaranteed to work everywhere. That stopped years ago.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Thanks for the warning. I spend a few grand on it every month. Will use my Visa.

[IronJack]

Amex is completely on board the homo train. Have been for years. They’re as bad as Wells Fargo for endorsing perversion.

[reaganaut]

I quit using all credit cards several years ago.

“homosexual community”

It’s not a community; they are accomplices in sodomy and other loathsome perversions, nothing less disgusting than that.

[albie]

They’re “thrilled”?!

[ozaukeemom]

We cancelled our Amex.

[Buttons12]

for the month I will be using one of my Visa cards--even though I use Amex regularly because of a decent return

It must be awesome...thank you for your sacrifice.

[I want the USA back]

Most major corporations have gone over to the wacko left.

Costco dumped them for Visa....

[Parley Baer]

My wife has dropped hers. I use an NRA Visa myself.

[Rurudyne]

Drop them altogether.

Cash may be contaminated with dope but you don’t need a big bank based banking system to use it.

Which is why they want to get rid of cash, but that’s another story.

[Allen In Texas Hill Country]

What a coincidence. June 19th was the last date our AEX/Costco cards were good. Costco gave us Citi/VISA and the points return looks to be better than AEX. We have been using our Citi/VISA cards since the 20th. It will be interesting when the monthly bills start coming in to see/compare the return.

Kinda a shame. I’ve been an AEX member 2 years shy of 50 years.

[publius911]

in return, for the month I will be using one of my Visa cards--even though I use Amex regularly because of a decent return I've enjoyed via its "points" program.
I urge any FREEPers who use credit responsibly to do the same.

I ripped up my Amerex card in 1992 when my daughter was coming home for Christmas from University and was stranded with no money due to weather at an en route airport. One of the advertised benefits of the card (at the time) was the ability to send cash via the Amerex airport counter to a person under those conditions.
TOTAL FAIL.

I am happy, though, to report that COSTCO no longer accepts Amerex card exclusively .
Starting July 1, Amerex is OUT, VISA is in... : )

[Fred Hayek]

I dumped Amex in 2002 due to their sheer incompetence. I sent a bill payment, and they said the check was no good, while my bank said it was perfectly valid. My last call to Amex had the phone right by the shredder while it ate the card.

[Lurkinanloomin]

AMEX has always been too gay for me

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Everyone else should too. Then, let’s see what actual percentage of customers of those available they actually have.
