General purpose card Unauthorized transactions/trans. issues New York

I have American Express Serve card. They give you an unnecessary hard time in disputing transactions, and they have every reason to, because if they give you your money back, whatever percentage the merchant has to pay for using their card, they do n't get paid if they give the money back! -/-/-, I disputed - charges : - from -, in which I signed up for their hot spot service through their automated system, which did not state the charge is not refundable. They only tell you this after you are charged ; then, they say it is in their terms of service, which was never mentioned in the sign-up process nor do you get a website to go to to read the terms of service. This is fraud, because I am not be given the right to make an informed decision.


I made a purchase at - and was charged $36.00 on - -, -, under -. I returned the product and though the seller has a refund policy, but she will not give me my money back. I called Serve in -/-/- to put both items in dispute, which was done ; however, the representative did not tell me to expect an email from American Express. As a result, they sent me an email but because I was not expecting them, as the representative did not inform me they were coming, the cases were closed. I am currently on hold with Serve trying to re-dispute those charges, and they have the audacity to be telling me essentially too bad : Though WE messed up, you 're not getting your money back. I spoke to -, a supervisor, who is now telling me, 60 days have passed and we ca n't dispute the charges. Both of these charges were disputed in a timely fashion in the beginning. Serve -, but they want to penalize me. Serve needs to be investigated and fined, because I am sure I am not the only customer they have done this to. All these Serve rep 's gave me the same excuses. I have been on the phone for 2 hours trying to resolve this. This is ABUSE and UNACCEPTABLE! Serve is stealing my money, because by keeping my money, they stand to profit! - - - Account Specialist - - - Account Protection - - - Customer Service
