Read an AMEX offer once years ago. Tossed it when the text included a fee. Tossed a pile of similar unopened mailing since. Have been happy with my Visa and Discover (mostly Discover) for years. Never knew or thought to look at the advantages or niche that AMEX provides. I understand now.
Was t that long ago I read AMEX became “woke” or some such. Seems to me there was an outcry from customers cancelling their cards. Don’t remember the story exactly, just glossed over it quickly and thought about why they even mattered. Now I understand the benefits for those who are able to access its advantages. Reminds me of paying Sam’s club for the privilege to shop at there stores. Not for everyone, advantage for some.
