Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: VA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Add-on products and services

Complaint:
I have an American Express Platinum card. One of the features is that whenever I rental car is booked using the card, a charge of {$19.00} is automatically charged in order to provide rental car insurance protection. This is a great feature of the card and protects the card holder in case of any damage to the rental car. 

However- if during the same rental another charge is made to the card ( such as for toll roads, parking fines, administration fees, deductible / excess charges for alleged accidents ) then another {$19.00} is automatically charged. Essentially, whenever any rental car company makes a charge to the card, {$19.00} is levied. 

This has happened to me on 4 occasions since XX/XX/2021. Amex refunds the erroneous additional charge, but my concern is that there are XXXX or XXXX of people out there who have not recognized this and so are owed money! 

It could be a huge scandal!
