Agreed. Used it in my last firm often enough...........300,000 staff

This - it's historic.

It's the same misperception as with the commission I guess - general sense that Amex isn't widely accepted so people don't ask - but yes, definitely getting better.

Check what ? I've got an Amex card, and I use it a lot (I have to maintain £10kpa expenditure on it to get the flight voucher) so I'm constantly asking retailers - in my experience it's not yet as widely accepted as Visa. Agree with the pricing though - plenty out there that still have the...

Then I’d have two Amex cards………….still too many places they’re not accepted, and I get a BOGOF (companion) voucher every year with my existing (BA branded) Amex card so need to maintain that and a certain level of spend……. Think you’re right re the current Hilton Visa (it’s a white labelled...

This - muscle-flexing to reduce rates. No way Visa will let them drop.
