American Express.

Do any of the forum members currently accept American Express cards ?.

We have always avoided them due to the charges they apply which are way more than other card providers but i have received an e-mail from Retail Merchant Services saying that from the 10th December 2018 all American Express cars will have a flat rate of 1.9% which i think is acceptable and will in future accept them as payment.

Yep been taking them for years, special small business rate which i can’t remember exactly off the top of my head is, I could let you know in the morning if you want me to.

I use sum up. 1.69% across the board no monthly fee, no pcidss nonsense

we did years ago, and had to wait for payment to get into the bank for roughly 7 days, as everything else went thru in 3 I felt it too much paper work as in time watching the bank. so do not take them.

I will if it's the same prices as visa etc, but until then NO

Best thing I use one, and get cash back just over 1% used as much as poss for business, got 400£ in a year in commision - bit hypercritical I know but not my problem

Don't bother with them any more.  I had a letter from them saying they had £64 waiting to transfer to my account and to ring them to confirm.  They wanted a password from when I set up the account 10 to 15 years earlier which I couldn't remember, they wouldn't release the money. Thieving bastards!

Always taken it with a £50 minimum spend
