Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against American Express for an issue that I believe reflects a breach of trust and unfair business practice. 

I am a longstanding customer of American Express. I currently hold three cards with the organization- the XXXX XXXX, the XXXX XXXX, and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Two months ago, I upgraded to the XXXX XXXX, driven by an attractive welcome offer advertised on the XXXX website XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX ). The offer promised XXXX points on all dining transactions within the first six months of card usage. 

Despite my substantial spending of over {$15000.00} within the first two months, this offer has not been honored. What's more concerning is that the same offer I applied with is still actively being advertised on the XXXX website, which is owned by American Express. 

When I approached the American Express customer service team and my account XXXX to resolve this issue, I felt dismissed and undervalued. The threat that I would lose my XXXX bonus points if I chose to cancel the card before completing XXXX year was not only disheartening but also felt like a punitive measure rather than a resolution to the issue at hand. 

I am bringing this matter to your attention in the hope of a thorough investigation and a fair resolution. I believe that as a consumer, I have the right to receive what was promised in the welcome offer. It is disappointing to see such a reputable company engaging in what seems to be misleading marketing practices. 

I look forward to your support in resolving this matter and hope that measures can be taken to prevent such issues from occurring in the future. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Company: TransferWise Ltd
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, On XX/XX/2023, we transferred {$1800.00} USD to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX using Wise ( https : //wise.com/us/ ). We paid in USD and Wise converted the amount to XXXX ( {$1500.00} XXXX XXXX since XXXX XXXX is located in the XXXX XXXX. 

We followed up with XXXXXXXX XXXX  immediately after sending the payment via Wise and for several weeks afterwards. She did not receive our payment. She contacted Wise several times and Wise stated she they were unable to talk to her or assist her since she is not the sender. XXXX also worked with her bank and they confirmed our payment was not received. She has bank statements to show the payment was never received. 

XXXX was advised by her bank that we ( the sender ) needed to recall our funds to ensure we did not lose the money. We recalled the funds and received the money back in our bank. However, Wise is now saying we recalled the money from them and we owe the amount back to them. 

I do not believe we owe this money to Wise because the service they provide was not fulfilled. I do know where they transferred our payment to but it was not the intended recipient. We have been working with Wise customer support since early XXXX and they took weeks to investigate and trace this issue with the recipient 's bank. Wise has completed the trace and said : Regarding your recent error request and claim, we appreciate your patience. 
Weve finished investigating to determine whether the funds were completed by Wise and sent to the recipient 's bank account. What weve found from the trace is that the funds were completed and sent to them in XXXX, but the recipient 's bank converted them to USD. You have the right to request any documents weve relied on in our investigation to come to this conclusion. We have requested documents from the investigation and have received nothing. We simply do not agree with the conclusion to their investigation because the recipient never received our payment and has the bank statement to provide it. 

Wise has threatened collection and legal action to us several times. We dont know what else to do and any help you can provide would be much appreciated. This is a lot of money and we do not believe we should have to pay Wise since our payment never reached the recipient. Please let me know if you need any additional documentation. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX
