Worst shop small ever?

I've been an Amex Merchant for 40 years now - they sent my a very expensive heavy Crystal vase recently as a “Thank You”.

The cost for me to take your AMEX is less than your Visa and Mastercard costs me, most especially for foreign buyers of which I have many.

The decades old reality of it being 'expensive' to business is just not true now.

As to this PROMO ..... big yawn sadly, to me anyway.

6 cash injections of $10 a merchant spend, as in past years was far savvier IMHO.

As a comment - to speak to ANYONE at Amex these days who is based in Australia, seems near zero in recent years. I truly cannot understand 50% of what many say.
My point exactly - I never have a problem in EU,USA,Israel, Qatar etc with my Amex I can use it anywhere Here in Australia , as said, its a different story, either not taking Amex, and if they do sometimes a surcharge. I rarely use my Visa and have noted some merchants are charging surcharges for VISA/MC as well
