Amex Prepaid Card Complaint

General purpose card Managing, opening, or closing account

Amex Prepaid card department,

General purpose card Managing, opening, or closing account Vermont

I called American Express on Monday to see why my card was declined, as I had enough funds in the account to cover the transaction. I was informed that because I no longer had the debit card that was linked to the card that they were suspending my account. They said since I could n't verify it was my debit card that was linked they locked the account and there was no way to get it on locked. they also said since they have locked the account, I will not be able to get my money back that I have in the account. I asked them if they can just delete the card from the account, as I could n't do it as they have locked me out of the online account. and they said that they could n't because the account was locked and I was never going to get my money back. I said at this point, I just want to closed the account and have you send me a check for the funds that are in the account, they informed me that they could n't and would n't do that ever.
