I was just browsing around the AMEX website to find some info about the new Platinum Moneyback card and found something interesting I hope somebody here could verify.
I have an AMEX Gold Charge Card. One of the reasons I have this card is that I travel a lot and I don't want to be stranded overseas if my card is lost/stolen. AMEX previously had something they called "World Privilege" (I think) only on their CHARGE CARDS which would get you a replacement card anywhere in the world within 24 hours.
Now unfortunately they seem to have done away that you can compare cards side by side for each detail of the card so it's hard to find as you need to go into each single card and select details ... taking about improving their site!
Anyway I have gone into a couple of cards, including CREDIT CARDS and all seem to state the following:
I previously assumed this is only available on CHARGE CARDS because as far as I can make out the Green, Gold & Platinum charge cards are the same all over the world whereby the CREDIT CARD offering actually various by country.
Has anybody on this BB any insights if AMEX has changed this and offers now WW card replacement for all their cards, CHARGE and CREDIT cards?
Please let me know also would be interested if somebody overseas lost their credit card and got a replacement via overseas AMEX office?
