You can use your American Express card everywhere (as long as you stay in America)

Posted on by

As an American Express Platinum Card member I’m told by the company’s propaganda that I’m entitled Amexbadto the uber level of card member perks. You name it and I get it. Or, so they say.

Alas, as I’ve found to my chagrin, no one accepts the AmEx card in Northern France.

‘Jamais,’ I was told by one waitress. ‘Mais no monsieur,’ sighed another.

Thankfully, I also pack a Visa card which, like its brand promise "is everywhere you want to be."

American Express may have a certain panache, but until they secure a beachhead in Normandy and elsewhere, I’ll pack extra credit card ammo.

  2. American Express charges the shop much more per transaction than visa or master.
    The policy is probably that amex users should only do luxury shopping. They should not visits shops that have to calculate margins.
