Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

I purchased an amex egift card online yesterday and even though it states on the amex balance check website that the cards are good to use at any online stores and can be used within your online wallet accounts, I was not redeemable anywhere and can be gifted to others, that is false. I tried to use it to purchase minutes for my cellphone service, I tried adding to my XXXX wallet and my daughters XXXX account and they all failed.the cvc number even came back Invalid during the call when I entered the card over the phone to check the balance activation. I held online for over an hour and the representative provided no help at all and told me that there was nothing wring with the card and nothing she could do. She also refused to provide me a contact phone number for her corporate office. This was my second or third time in the past year exoeriencing issues with Amex gift cards, which is whyy I only purchased a small gift card amount yesterday of {$25.00} +tax because I wanted to make sure the card would work first and it did not. Amex refuses to set clear expectations for customers and leave XXXX stuck with faulty cards that we can't use practically anywhere. I haven't been able tonuse it to pay a bill because I can't even get past adding the card into my XXXX oayment system, it rejects the card altogether. The cards are useless and then amex charges fees when the transactions decline. They should be out out of business because of their unscrupulous practice. There are custimers online all over the web describing the same types of issues with these Amex cards and they continue to sell them blindly. Please investigate this company and their business practices and/ or share the information with the FTC if applicable, > also plan to reach out to them as well. Subsequently I can not even login to the website anymore now to even check the balance of the card because it keeps giving me wrror messages as if the information isn't correc. AGAIN the cuaromer service agents refused to address the issue.
