Consumer Narrative
I have attempted to use the American Express gift card at major online retailers like XXXX who accept the card but then AMEX declines the transactions. Calling AMEX customer support providers no relief. They have no reasonable explanation for their declinations and refuse to offer any other relief, even when all of the proper information is provided by the cardholder
