“I have multiple complaints with American Express Platinum card services. Considering I paid $695.00 for an account, I am expecting superior services. This has not been my experience for the following issues. I mailed a payment by check for a balance over $27,000.00. I mailed it a week ahead of time. On the due date the check had not posted so to be sure the account was paid on time, I made an electronic transfer from my bank to pay the account. They posted the check the next day. I called to get the $27,000.00 + refunded back to me. I was told they had to wait until the check cleared. It took 5 days for them to be willing to issue a refund. I asked that the funds be electronically transferred back into my bank account. I was told because the amount was over $9,000.00 so they had to issue a check and mail it to me and to expect it to take 7-10 business days. At the same time they froze my account and said I was required to go through a financial review. They said all accounts had to do this and it was unrelated to anything else. They wanted me to verify my income, and I had to send them the two most recent bank statements from my bank. I complied and now after a week my account is usable. I am 70 years old and have had numerous credit cards over the years. Never have I had so much aggravation from a credit card company.”
