Amex Prepaid Card Complaint

Mobile wallet Managing, opening, or closing account

Amex Prepaid card department,

Mobile wallet Managing, opening, or closing account Maryland

When I bought my - phone, the app American Express Serve came with it. It auto opened an account, though I did n't think anything of it because I never used it. So there 's no banking info or anything tied to it. Today I got an email saying that unless I add direct deposit to the account AmEx will charge me a $4.00 fee. I try to log into the site, but I ca n't because I never really opened an account. I did request new PW and that let me in. On the page, no where to close acct. You can only call, tweet them, or write a letter. I have been on hold for 30 minutes. I would really just like to close the account and not be charged $ -. Especially when this is just an app. Like a way to pay for things on your phone w/o using your own credit cards. My major issue is that there 's no easy way to contact AmEx and cancel the account. I am not going to tweet at them or send a letter. My only option is to call and like I said, they have had me on hold. I think this was a little forced since it was an app on my phone that I did n't really want. It was pre-loaded.
