Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have not been provided monetary and other credits promised by American Express for using AMEX credit card No. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I applied for and received an American Express Delta Platinum XXXX XXXX. The initiation fee for the credit card was {$250.00} and under the advertised terms of the card, American Express would credit the card holder ( me ) {$400.00} after the card had been used to purchase a Delta XXXX flight. Additionally, American Express agreed to credit the card holder with XXXX Delta miles after {$3000.00} had been charged to the card within the first XXXX months. I achieved both of these milestones within the allocated time. 

Beginning in XX/XX/2022, I called American Express to find out why I had received neither the {$400.00} credit nor the XXXX miles. I was told both were " in process '' and that I would receive them shortly. After three further calls over the following several weeks I was finally told that American Express had decided to not credit the {$400.00} or the XXXX miles because I had had other American Express cards in the past which I had cancelled. ( I don't keep a record of my credit cards but I estimate I have had 3-4 American Express cards over the past 30 years ). I explained to the American Express agent that if American Express did not wish to honor these credits it should not have accepted my application in the first place. Furthermore, by accepting my application and charging me, and receiving, the {$250.00} initiation fee there was a de facto offer and acceptance of the advertised terms. 

After several attempts politely asking American Express to honor its commitment, I canceled the credit card and explained to an agent at American Express that I was leaving a balance on the card of {$250.00} as an offset against the initiation fee which I had paid when I received the card. 

For the last 18 months or so, American Express has hounded me with robo calls and has turned my account over to two collection agencies. ( I have spoken to both and after they heard the details of the alleged indebtedness neither agency bothered me again ). American Express has continued to add interest charges and late fees which now total over {$840.00} and has damaged my otherwise excellent credit rating. 

Since American Express has repeatedly refused to recredit the initiation fee for the credit card, I am now seeking to collect the {$400.00} credit that American Express owes me for purchasing the Delta XXXX ticket plus {$900.00}, which is a conservative estimate of the value of the XXXX Delta miles owed to me less the {$250.00} balance I left on the credit card when I canceled the card. This totals {$1000.00}.
