I understand your point, but at the same time, a big part of these boards is letting people know of potential pitfalls and mistakes associated with certain companies.
That being said, despite all the negative "press," I plan on applying for an AMEX soon. Can't wait to get these baddies resolved first =)

I'm all in favor of pointing out the shallow sandbars and riptides of every card. We all need to be educated consumers, research the fire out of any card or company we're interested, and pay heed to what we read. Some cards need to be handled with more caution than others, and they're worth it for a long-term relationship.
Does the Costco Amex actually report as Amex? I thought it reported and was handled through the card issuing bank? Thus, you would not be entitled to a lof the benefits with exception to the actual cards rewards program. Is that correct? I'm still trying to figure out the difference.

I didn't like AMEX before but after I got the Costco Amex, it is what I use for everyday purchases because of the rewards.
Only problem, mentioned in my other post, is they report a month late to the CRA.
That is something I recently learned and will watch out for in the future.
