Issue: Problem getting a card or closing an account — Trouble closing card
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I purchased a {$100.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX. I followed all instructions and activated it online. I went to use it and it declined. I checked my balance on line and there was a message advising that my card was blocked. I called the number on the back of the card, and was told that the only way to rectify the card being blocked and be able to utilize my {$100.00} on the card was to receive a replacement in the mail within 3-5 business days. Here we are, approximately 21 days later, and Ive yet to receive the card. Ive spoken with customer service ( all XXXX ) and have requested the card a couple of different times. Each time Im advised that its being mailed out expedited 3-5 day shipping with XXXX. Several times, Ive asked for the tracking number and was told they arent given one. I spoke to XXXX myself and was told there is a tracking number if thats the way it gets shipped. At this point, I feel like Im waiting on a card thats never going to arrive. Im tired of waiting to utilize funds placed on a card almost a month ago. 
Today, I wanted to inquire on the process of a verification of address ( as I was told has to be done at this point ). So I followed each step accordingly. I was asked to send my most recent tax return. I said, no, youre not getting all of the information provided on that for my address to be verified. The representative said I could send a bill. I emailed XXXX as advised, providing a bill in my name to my address within the the last 90 days ( redacting anything with private info such as my social security number ). In the subject line, I also titled it Replacement Requested multiple attempts and the cards serial number. The email auto generated said itd be reviewed in 72 business hours. I have my receipt, the original card purchased and several notes from many phone calls with the company, my email to the company for the verification of address and the names of each representative and supervisor that Ive spoken with. It is extremely concerning that on a couple calls, I did state that I was recording the call ( due to previous conflicting information given by some of the other representatives and was told I dont consent, I have to disconnect the call, despite when you call, it does say this call may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes.
