Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA

Complaint narrative:
I have not been able to view any of my transactions since XXXX. Now I can not even view monthly statements. I have no way of verifying if the purchases or amounts are accurate when paying my bill. The only method Apple allows for viewing transactions is on an Apple device, but none of my devices will show my transactions. I have several open cases with Apple to try to get this fixed, but they have not fixed it in almost 4 months and have become unresponsive when I call about the case numbers. I should not be expected to pay a statement I can not view or for transactions I can not verify. Apple needs to fix this problem ASAP.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX my girlfriend and I went to XXXX XXXX to purchase a reclining sofa and recliner chair. We found a set we liked. The salesman gave us paperwork to fill out. Both of us. Our names, address, income, etc. After a while a lady at a counter called me up holding the phone to her chest telling me, " If the bank asks, tell them you make {$5.00} a month. '' I asked why but she said nothing. I thought she was joking because I spoke with the bank and they didn't even ask me about my income. The salesman approached us telling us we were approved for the furniture we wanted. Great. I assumed it was a {$2500.00} approval because that's how much the furniture cost. Come to find out on XX/XX/XXXX that was not the case. The furniture store did in fact tell the bank I made {$5000.00} a month. I don't even make {$1000.00} a month. The fact that the furniture store lied to the bank is fraudulent. They committed fraud with my name and information. The bank gave me a {$10000.00} line of credit. When I called the bank they told me the reason being was because they were told I made {$5.00}. I told them that was a lie and they needed to remove it from my credit report. All XXXX did was update my credit with the bank. I want it removed. I DID NOT ask for that much credit. It has hurt my credit. The bank refuses to do anything about it and XXXX won't remove it. I want the account completely removed. I told XXXX it was fraud from the get go. I'm taking the furniture store to court for this.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
This is for the American Express Platinum card. One of the benefits advertised is that you get a {$50.00} credit every 6 months for XXXX XXXX XXXX it has to be used by XX/XX/XXXX and the second by XX/XX/XXXX of the calendar year. I purchase something for {$64.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. On my statement it shows XX/XX/XXXX. On their app it shows as XX/XX/XXXX. I did not receive my credit. 

I chatted with customer service and they said that despite it showing XX/XX/XXXX on my end, on their end it shows as XX/XX/XXXX and therefor I dont get my credit. I said thats not what their advertising says. It says purchase made XXXX of the calendar year and it shows XX/XX/XXXX on my end. 

The rep said it didnt matter what I saw on my end. Their systems post differently and thats what it goes as. In some travel credit card forums, this has been coming up a lot. People who made year end purchases to get their credits/sign up bonuses/etc are being told they arent getting it because its posting in their systems are showing after the date they did the transaction and coincidentally on a date to which they lose out on some kind of reward, credit or bonus.
