Amex Credit Card Complaint

Amex Credit card department,

Credit card protection / Debt protection Virginia

I have an issue with my card membership through - and American Express, and the partnership that is being severed between the -. I got the card due to the benefits through - and rarely use it elsewhere. I have other credit cards that I use for day-to-day expenses. I feel compelled to keep the AmEx, though, because it 's the card I 've had the longest, so I do n't want my credit to be negatively affected by cancelling it. Essentially, I will be forced to pay the AmEx membership, even though I wo n't use it due to lack of benefits just so I can maintain my credit rating. These types of partnerships '' between retailers - a wholesaler '' in this case - and credit card companies seem to force people into situations that are n't fair. Maybe I 'm just venting but I think AmEx should allow card holders to keep the card without paying an annual fee.
