Insurance doesn't take Amex

So I decided to put all my bills and expenses on my Fidelity Amex for the flat 2%. Well would you know my insurance company (AAA) doesn't take Amex CC payments. DRATS. Super inconvenient cuz I only wanted to keep up with one credit card bill for utilities sake. But my gas will go on my BofA cash so I guess that will be my "car expenses" card Smiley Tongue

I've used my American Express to pay State Farm. It's sad that paying my insurance on a 1% card got me about $30 cash back!

Re: Insurance doesn't take Amex

That was my dilemma as well.  I was hoping to make Fidelity Amex my general bill pay and miscellaneous spend card, but one of my larger monthly bills is my health insurance and they only accept Visa and MC.  This is where Citi Double Cash trumps Fidelity Amex for me.
