When I was a Boss in the Fire Service we were issued with an American Express Credit Card of course with strict limits,for incidentals such as running out of fuel at big jobs like bush fires etc but they had to withdraw them and issue visa cards instead ,as no business would except them and I think the same applied to Amex .A sideline to this was when I was issued mine I had offers from every credit card provider going with the same daily and maximum limits the government stipulated....Strange don't you think especially about the security within our government.

AMEX just sucks. It annoys us that our company give us these rather than a Visa. Very limited where you can use them. I know they are supposed to be primarily for travel and accommodation for us, but there are too many places that do not accept them. If I need to use for fuel I am very careful as a lot of servos just wont take them.

It's not like that down here.

Oh, by the way Ian, we are in the southern hemisphere and America is in the northern hemisphere. It may seem to be an insignificant fact but Mexico is close to the equator much like Queensland. I believe you are much closer to the equator than I. Enjoy those tacos Gringo.

You'll have to excuse Mick, he lives over the West side of Melb,, over here in the South Eastern side, we must have all of the ******* with their BS attitudes and bad manners, inconsideration, (the list goes on and on).

AMEX are the least preferred card in America

Multitudes of places over there refuse to accept them...

isnt it strange? amex is accepted more out here in Emerald than in the city....I use it most here and the rewards attached are better as well.

You'll have to move over here then. I was looking at a really nice property today. Too nice for me.

Which one Mick, or both?
