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: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to use my Amex gift card at multiple online merchants ( XXXX, XXXX, etc. ) and every time I try to use it the card gets declined. Every purchase I have attempted to make is less than the balance on the card so there is no reason for it to be declined. When I called Amex customer care to try and resolve the issue, the representative told me that the issue was on the merchant 's side as they may require additional security information to process the transactions. She recommended that I use the card at an in-person location. I mentioned that the item I am trying to buy is only available online and on the Amex information page on using their gift cards, they state it is accepted online at any merchant that excepts Amex. I explained to her that I have not had any issue using previous Amex gift cards to make purchases and she said that the only resolution that she could offer me is to use the card in person. Unfortunately this is not helpful as I am trying to buy a gift for my husband that is sold only online.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Promotional Credit card APR ended, and balance was paid in full. Discover did not credit the payment according to the credit terms of the agreement. Payment applies to the lower interest rate first, any excess payment is to be applied to the highest interest rate first. This was not done by Discover in violation of the terms of the credit card agreement. Instead, they ignored this and allowed the interest to escalate to the next tier and the interest rate quadrupled. This is a bait and switch tactic. I suspect other consumers have fallen to this scam. This case should be referred to the Attorney General for prosecution and investigation.
