Amex Platinum Charge Card Annual Fee

[civinod]

Hi All,

Just wondering what experience anyone has had regarding getting the annual fee reduced. I have just received my statement which includes $1200 renewal fee (inc supplementary cards).

Upon calling accounts they tell me no way in the world that they will reduce fee or offer any other incentive to keep the business. We put through $100k+ per month.

Quite surprised by the attitude.

Any ideas or strategies for an assualt. I hate being told NO. You would think that they would offer something.

Which product are you talking about?

If its the Personal Platinum Charge, are you paying for supp cards because you have more of them than the free allocation (I think you get four at no cost)?

I just canned my account this week. It gives one a certain sense of satisfaction.

For the half fee I would consider keeping the card.

I was told that they are "tightening up" on Plat charge card fee reductions and definately no chance more than once half price.

Given they have completely trashed the insurance, that is the least they should do!

Going a little OT

They claim the cost of travel insurance has increased... I understand that.

In that case increase the annual fee $100 for everyone to cover it
