What's going on?

AmEx has by far the highest merchant fees (swipe + maintaince) - my guess is that these co-branded cards are finding out that the AmEx "prestige" really doesn't mean anything.

Couldn't happen to a nicer company IMO (not a fan of Amex).

You sound bitter.

But probably nothing more than a money decision.

EQ - 727
TU - 752
EX - 774

Yup, when I had my computer business I had fees of 2% from Discover, 2.5% Visa & MC and 4% Amex, see the problem here...

Busted !

Yeah I do, I have one with a tiny limit, no AF and a backdate of 1978 - that doesn't make me a fan. Probably should ask for a "replacement" card once in a while since that'll cost them a few bucks.
