Plus they are very good at resolving any questionable charges that you don't recognize. And it's FREE! No annual fees. <br />

I didn't have any unauthorized transactions, but in one case I needed a 3-year old receipt for my watch: it broke and it had 10 year warranty, but I couldn't find the original receipt. I called them and they found a receipt for me. They had to treat it as a questionable transaction and contact the merchant who sent them the copy of the receipt which they sent me. Another time they weren't sure I made the purchase made abroad. They called me and asked if I actually made the purchase.</p>

Would you be nice if someone you borrowed money to missed a few payments?<br />

Isn't that their job to take care of their customers? The interest rates are high for a reason not to mention they get a percentage of every transaction. I would expect no less or I'd move to one of the billion other credit cards that would do that. Miss a few payments and see how nice they are. I've read a ton of stories where AMEX is one of the most aggressive companies in that area. </p>David commented on 'Amex Took Care of Me When My Card Number Was Stolen'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2010536e962e1970b2009-01-24T13:56:06Z2009-01-24T13:56:07ZDavidhttp://www.pimpyourfinances.comGlad to hear that everything seems to have worked out with the stolen card.

The Mrs. & I belong to a Californian Credit Union. I was at store and tried to use this particular card and it was denied or something or another. Anyway, I called the Credit Union the next morning, after 11:00am Texas time, and asked if there was a problem, I knew I had money. They told me that there was some sort of an attempt on a ATM I had used. I was stunned, I didn't know they cared so much, and thanked them. They sent me a new card right a way. Just thought I share that.</p>JeffrO commented on 'Amex Took Care of Me When My Card Number Was Stolen'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2010536e89209970b2009-01-24T02:31:15Z2009-01-24T02:31:15ZJeffrOGlad to hear that CRU (Card Replacement Unit) took good care of you.

<p>There are many good reasons why AmEx has been rated #1 by J.D. Power the last two years:<br />

<p>My experience with AMEX on card replacement, suspicious card use, and website access have always been excellent. AMEX has overnighted cards to me at no charge, eliminated suspicious charges and made website access very easy. Their customer service organization is also very good.</p>Kim commented on 'Amex Took Care of Me When My Card Number Was Stolen'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2010536f1fa02970c2009-01-23T23:14:19Z2009-01-23T23:14:19ZKimYou haven't heard about the largest security breach of card numbers in US history? http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/01/payment_processor_breach_may_b.html<p>You haven't heard about the largest security breach of card numbers in US history?</p>

Two were mine, one wasn't. I didn't owe a dime, and I wasn't paying for any stupid identity theft protection. I still can't figure out how it would've been different if I was paying $5 a month for that garbage "service."</p>David Wynn commented on 'Amex Took Care of Me When My Card Number Was Stolen'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2010536f1be9f970c2009-01-23T21:09:51Z2009-01-23T21:09:51ZDavid Wynnhttp://beyondthecode.wordpress.comI'm looking forward to those comparison results.

I jumped into the Amex card on advice from a number of people, but I didn't realize the redemption rate was annually. I'm wondering if I shouldn't jump ship, since I like the idea of monthly affirmations from Schwab/Fidelity better...</p>
