Wow... why would anyone use AmEx now that they are doing this stuff?

Say no more.
It would certainly help to would bring back all of positions sent ‘over there’ during the now-departed times of ‘full employment’.

Looks like AmEx is going the way of the other decrepit credit card companies.

Incredible. Are they trying to go out of business? What could be the justification for such a massive piece of stupidity? You'd think they'd want paying customers like this.

That’s it. I am done with American Express.
Except perhaps to short their stock.

My husband has NO choice. The corporation he works for has all their employee expense cards through American Express.

I guess American Express should consider a new name.
Orient Express?

Typical drive-by posters...don’t know a damned thing.
It it were your own money you were lending, wouldn’t you want to find out ways to ‘stop the bleeding’...stop losing money to all the small businesses going bankrupt?
I know several people that had high credit ratings and in six months they were filing bankruptcy.
Bad stuff happens.....and sometimes it happens quickly.
It’s smart business sense to reevaluate the risks.

Total BS... been carrying a card since 1978... have a Platinum now... never a problem... always sided with me on the few disputes that I ever had... and I am happy if they make certain that their customers can pay their bill... maybe I have had no problems due to the fact that since 1978... I have NEVER filed to pay off the balance before the due date! Total BS. I'll just bet this person was "kiting" her accounts and got caught... no one has three Amex cards... unless something is very strange!

Then how are tax returns from 3 years ago going to help?Because it provides a good composite of how much of the person/company's gross income...which is always used in applications...is being written down on the Schedule C.

Send copies of tax returns to New Delhi... yeah, okeydokey.
Amex can certainly tighten up their credit review if they wish. If asked for my tax returns, I think I will instead send back my Amex blue card. I’ll send it to New Dehli wrapped in presents from New York courtesy of my cat’s litterbox.

The AmEx card I have is also a corporate card and we’re forced to use it by the company in order to be reimbursed.
I’ve not received notice of any of this, but I sent the link to my upper management to see what they have to say about it. The company employs just shy of 50,000 people so hopefully if this is being done they can stomp on it for us.
To: christx30
If it were me:
“I have no intention of sending MY tax information to India.
This sound more like an attempt to extort identity theft.
If AmEx believes this is a good business practice, then it’s important for me to tell them otherwise.
The only prudent action is for me to cancel all 3 account immediately!

He should contact Corporate HQ and let them know there may be an attempt to extort ID theft and the company needs to change contracts!
