    I love my Amex card. I especially love the rewards program, the products, services and gifts are really nice and worth using my Amex card for the points! It's really easy to keep track of my spending on the website and I'm constantly received updates and important information regarding my account with customized email notification that I upset. Thanks American Express!

    I find the annual review process arduous and borderline insulting. We always pay balances in full on all cards and don't understand why we should be submitted to this and reducing our limits when we are a growing company with growing needs and excellent credit.

    Great company. I have been both a personal and business American Express customer for more than 10 years. Customer service is great, top notch. The first card I grab from my wallet is an American Express card for both business and personal purchases.
