Amex Credit card department,
Advertising and marketing New York
I received a piece of mail from American Express with a prequalified offer for the Blue Cash Everyday Card offering me 12 months with a 0.0 % introductory purchase APR as well as 0.0 % APR for balance transfers. I applied for the card and was approved. Upon speaking to a customer service representative I was told that I did NOT have the 0.0 % APR for purchases, and that this offer was never made to me. I called and spoke to ANOTHER customer service representative who informed me that I DID have the 0.0 % intro purchase APR. Having gathered - conflicting answers to my inquiry, I called again and was told that I did not have the 0.0 % purchase APR. Furthermore I was also told that, that offer was not available on the website or anywhere else. Appalled that I had basically just been called a liar by the marketing team, I went on the americanexpress website and quickly found the offer terms for the - Card. If, this promotion is not offered, it should not be promoted on the American Express website, through American Express mail, or on third party websites, i.e. ; - -. This is false and deceptive advertisement. I also asked -, -, -, and -, the - different employees that I spoke with if there was any situation in which the introductory APR would not be available to a customer, a question in which the employees could not answer.
