Comments about The Platinum Card® from American Express
Humphrey
You Get What You Pay For
First of all, I'd like to say simply that you do indeed "get what you pay for." There is nothing that will replace or surpass the customer service and real value to the cardholder provided by American Express. I'm an American Express Platinum Card cardholder. With my previous Green and Gold cards, I never really needed to put customer service to the test, but I know the AMEX response would be the same.
A brief example: I had ordered custom wheels and tires for my rare car. Not rare as in super-valuable; they just didn't make many of this model VW. I understood fitment and the specs and I questioned the merchant, who stated that they had installed that exact wheel on my model of car, so I ordered. Long story short = no fit. So I ordered spacers and longer wheel studs. Installer couldn't get the few final turns on the front wheels. It wasn't safe. So time to return the unused wheels . . . except the merchant is now not returning my calls! Whoa! I want my money back! And the resolution was simple: call AMEX customer service, explain the situation, and I got an immediate refund of my $1,200. The merchant was tasked with arranging shipping to get his wheels & tires back, but he never did, so after six months I sold them on eBay.
I'm convinced any other "free" card would have said, "Tough luck, you're on your own!" This card is expensive, but it will pay for itself in free late check-out at hotels, discounts for Platinum Card members, access to VIP lounges at airports, just a ton of stuff. I cannot praise their service enough. Thanks for reading my review.
