Amex Credit Card Complaint

Closing/Cancelling account

Amex Credit card department,

Closing/Cancelling account California

I 'm highly disappointed with American Express. I 've been a - - Rewards card holder for over 4 years. I have excellent credit and have never missed a payment. My wife recently ( joint card holder ) sent me a payment via - and she thought that she was using a new debit card. Instead - used the Amex that was originally linked to the account. We tried to cancel the payment after we discovered the error but were n't allowed to cancel. Was n't a big deal in our opinion but days later American Express cancelled my account. When I called in to see what the problem was, I was told that Amex does n't allow you to send payments to yourself and that my account could not be reinstated. That is extremely harsh considering it was a simple mistake that we immediately tried to remedy. I 've never had any previous issues with Amex or it 's customer service up until this point. Over 4 years of excellent credit history whipped away due to a simple mistake. I was told that I could reapply in the future, but with this level of treatment I 'm sure I 'll never do business with American Express again. I 'll definitely advise anyone I know to steer clear of Amex products.
