You know business is bad when they start paying to get rid of you. LOL

Wow, I should have gotten’ 5-10 cards and slow pay all..$3000.

Well, I don’t know how that happened but here is the correct link to the article:http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB123542259989852121-lMyQjAxMDI5MzI1NDQyMjQyWj.html#printMode

As a retailer, I refuse to get an Amex card. The percentage they charge us per transaction, is the highest in the industry.

I also try not to accept these cards in my store, other cards are encouraged.

Meantime, I keep getting credit card solicitation junkmail in the mail....

Let me guess, those “select” customers that will be rewarded with $300 are those that have a history of not paying on time.

The old school would be to just shut off these bad customers. Goodbye.

But with today’s lawyers, a lawsuit will result, so this boondoggle crap with a buyout is done instead.

Now if we can only get them to stop sending pre-approved junk mail twice a month.

So Amex is finally going to die. I dropped Amex back in 2002. I sent them a check to pay a bill, they claimed it was no good (my bank said otherwise). This was during some years that I was blacklisting companies due to absolute incompetence. When I ended business with such companies, my letter closing business typically ended with “Please do the marketplace a favor. DIE!”

Seems like a cheap way to foist your toxic debt onto your competitors.
