Product: Prepaid card — Gift card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I received an AMEX virtual gift card on XX/XX/XXXX. I first attempted to check the card balance via their website, and have been unable to do so since receiving the card, I've tried everyday for the past 4 days. Attempts to make online purchases following their directions, ( only attempt to purchase from places that require the security code, make sure the cost of the purchase is less than the amount on the card, fill in my own name/address when asked ), has always resulted in the card being declined. I called customer service for assistance, told them their website was down, and that my attempts to make purchases at XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX were all declined. I was told that everything was fine on their end. I asked what is the resolution for when their gift cards aren't working, I was told to continue to try using it at different retailers and at different times, and that if the problem happened again to call back. I then asked for whatever resolution would be offered at that time to be offered to me while I was on the phone, and then realized they had not resolution. Their fix was to keep getting the card declined. In fact, the call ended when I was told, 'the card is good ma'am. '' After that call, I was able to get a {$40.00} food delivery to go through. I figured I would just use the card for food deliveries, but in trying to make another purchase the following the day, the card was declined on multiple platforms, ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ). I tried to add the card to my XXXX and XXXX XXXX accounts, declined. I tried to purchase a XXXX XXXX XXXX so I'd actually be able to use the money, also declined. I tried to make a purchase in-store by typing in the card number, declined. At this point there is {$460.00} gifted to me that I am unable to access and I am thoroughly frustrated by their lack of customer support or even concern. Especially since a quick XXXX search shows that many others have found themselves with a useless AMEX gift card. They need to do better.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2023. Two invoices were submitted to a customer with a link to pay through Chase QuickAccept. My customer immediately paid but after a few days, I checked the account again and discovered my account has been closed and funds were placed on 120 day hold. Was told by customer service that their merchant service was a email only customer service department. I would need to submit invoices for the amounts billed. Never heard a response after emailing so I called customer service again. They finally transferred me to a merchant service representative ( apparently they did have a customer service number ) who told me that they never received a complaint so I was given a different email. I submitted the dispute once again, the response was bland and stated that the account was closed and that I may receive the funds after 120 days. I responded to the message, demanding for an explanation and have not received a single response. Now its XX/XX/XXXX, I called the quickaccept customer number again and they confirmed the account was closed. The money was on hold, and my funds would still not be available for another month when it would be placed in their consideration to be released. How is it possible that a bank is required to give you a reason to be denied on a loan, but will not disclose why they have your money on hold and have closed your account without ever giving you the account number.

Complaint narrative:
My payment on the capital one credit card was made on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX the money left my checking account. On XX/XX/XXXX the payment was still not posted although they indicated my balance on my account had been reduced and they confirmed they had received the funds. I was told that Capital One " holds funds '' and my credit would not be back to the full amount until XX/XX/XXXX. That is improper use of my funds, results in credit fraud by Capital One and hurts the merchants who have promoted the cards ( in this case Wal Mart ). This is an unfair practice and is really a way for Capital one to use my funds for their gain, while advertising they are a credit entity.
