Mike at Vauxhall Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 It seems strange that the main sponsor of Small Business Saturday is Amex, as most small businesses ( including mine) won't take Amex because of the charges. The last (only time ) I took an Amex it was a £6 sale that ended costing me £13 in fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure your card supplier knows you do not want to take it, as they charged me £33-00 one month as one of the cards did not have the name American Express on and one of my staff took it, now I have it blocked! When Amex called me trying to get me to take there cards I simply ask them to refund my £33 - they wont so I wont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x minit uk Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I take Amex , my last transaction with them was £36.00 and their fee was 56p. You need to sign up to their small business plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Never met an Amex customer who did not have a visa type card also. Never lost a sale because I don't accept Amex, it would just be another avoidable expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
