Amex customer service is really starting to get on my nerves...

It seems that everytime I've talked to them recently, they've been EXTREMELY short and rude. I can hardly understand them. They talk way too fast. When I try and ask them questions, they seem to become annoyed and just restate something they've already stated, that isn't remotely relavent to what I asked... Smiley Mad

 

Getting real tired of it. How are they leading in customer service satisfaction, as of late? I remember when I first got my account, they were awesome. This has been a steady decline. Anyone else having the same issue.

LOL i did go on an rant about how uninformed amex csr are an few weeks ago, I am over it now. They are probably near bottom of the list of cards in terms of customer service. I actually have had good luck with chase comapred to Amex. It seems to me that all amex csr really do is read off of their template they are given, and they can't really do much else.

Call and complain to the EO...Maybe if they start getting enough complaints thru EO, the EO will put a smack down on it

Yeah, over the last couple of years service has suffered a bit. Whenever I interact with those agents (phone, online) I need to be very specific about what I want (rarely do I call in asking open ended questions or allow them to try to explain to me what I am asking for).

Re: Amex customer service is really starting to get on my nerves...

Had never had any problems with Amex's CS until last week when I had to deal with this youngish-sounding female CSR whose overly casual, downright flippant attitude made me wonder if I had dialed the wrong number. I almost expected her to say "You got it, pops" when I thanked her. I wondered if she was working out of her home because she sounded like she just got out of bed or something. I've heard some of Citi's CSRs work out of their homes. Anybody know for sure?

Re: Amex customer service is really starting to get on my nerves...

It tooks me dozens of calls to have my members since date corrected. The one supervisor named "Vir" in India finally got it accomplished. (Very polite and got it done.)  I find that Discover has the best customer service followed by Chase and even Barclays compared to AMEX. Hey AMEX, it your product is called AMERICAN Express. Bring the call centers home. Bring them home. AMEX has a great website and app, but their product suffers in customer  service.

Amex was never really good for anything. Yes, they do have triple CLI request after 90 days and did have backdating, but they began stripping all the benefits of having any cards and capped most bonuses to once per lifetime. Not to mention, they lost the Costco deal. Sucks to be them.
