My family have been platinum card members with AMEX for 20 years. I attempted using points for the first time EVER and booking a flight through American Express Travel. I booked a non stop, round trip, business class trip for 2 people 6 months ahead of time (nearly $4,000)…. Both of my flights have since been canceled by the airline or AMEX I really don't know …. After 3 separate phone calls with AMEX supervisors and over 7 HOURS of being put on hold…. I am now being told I can only have an economy ticket with several connections to my destination with zero refund OR they can attempt a refund for the entire trip but I will have to pay another $4-$6,000 out of pocket for new flights and may not get my money back for months or at all.
We're done with American Express. Absolutely appalling.
