Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NC)

I am a partner of a startup based out of NC. For all startups funding is an important factor. We chose AMEX for its reputable brand. So we thought We filled out the business application online at the end of XXXX, beginning of XXXX, was approved for The business Gold card in the amount of {$20000.00}, in which I had to be a personal guarantor. Everything was good so far. We are a bootstrapped women  operated and owned firm so funding is a challenge for any business. We have a client we worked on for about a month. Secured them to send a contract. Went to check to make sure AMEX was ready to perform and the credit was reduced to {$500.00}. Our costs to that client are {$12000.00} to {$15000.00} with an immediate return of {$27000.00}. First client, first huge client. The offer of a {$200000.00} year in profit from this one client was made. AMEX threw us under the bus for this is a trial run. We are devastated. Our clients rely on our word as we do in the office. We are disappointed AMEX didn't keep theirs. 

When I reached out to AMEX, I was able to connect with a specialist who provided some insights, although he acknowledged that the situation seemed confusing. He informed me that, upon approval, there's a 48-hour window to utilize the balance ; otherwise, it would be adjusted. I expressed my concern, explaining that this presented an issue because AMEX typically takes about a week to send out the card for activation before it can be used. This was unexpected and quite misleading, especially considering the reputation of a company like AMEX. We would like to rectify this anyway possible.

Consumer complaint received 2023-09-20
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with customer service
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MA)

From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I had a home mortgage serviced through Wells Fargo. The mortgage account was made using my maiden name as this was prior to my marriage, and the account has since been closed. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a credit card with Wells Fargo using my married name, as it is now my legal last name. I was approved for the card and received it in the mail with no issues. Upon trying to set up online banking through Wells Fargo, I was denied access to the platform. I called customer service for assistance and was informed that because my social security number is tied to my closed mortgage account under my maiden name, I would be unable to access online banking for this new credit card account that was created using my married name. 

The only solution they offered to rectify this was for me to visit a Wells Fargo branch in person with the relevant documents to change my name. The nearest Wells Fargo branch is 86 miles from my home in another state and it seems unreasonable to demand that I travel that distance to change my name with the company, given that they have already verified my information to issue this credit card in the first place. My previous Wells Fargo account that is linked with my maiden name is inactive and irrelevant to this new credit account. I would never have opened a digital banking credit account with Wells Fargo if I knew that a closed mortgage account would restrict my ability to manage my credit account.
