Read MoreI applied for this card at the AmEx booth at LGA on an outbound trip, and was very pleasantly surprised when my baggage fee was waived on the return trip, even though the flight itself was paid from another credit card. I hadn't even activated the card yet, as it was waiting for me at home. Very informative and personable staff person at the booth. Also enjoyed the comfy neck cushion. Good job, AmEx!

Read MoreI used my card to pay for all my purchases prior to my wedding. I used it to pay vendors, buy gifts, rent equipment, etc. When it was time for the wedding, I had enough Delta Amex points to book a free flight to go to Spain for my honeymoon! It was one less thing I had to worry about paying for.

Read MoreThe Delta Skymiles program has been very helpful to me as a consumer. I am more likely to use my American Express card because of the benefits associated with the Skymiles program. Every time I've used the customer support phone number, I've spoken with a friendly representative who has helped me with issues regarding my card. The website made it easy for me to redeem my Skymiles for an airplane ticket. Overall, I think this program is very successful to the consumers.

Read MoreI received a call immediately from your fraud department when fraud was suppected on my card. My card number had indeed been stolen and several items were charged totalling over US$2,000. I was very appreciative that American Express caught this quickly and called me to verify I was not the person charging those items. I had my card cancelled and quickly received a new one. I was also not responsible to pay for any of the fraudulent charges! Thank you, your services are fantastic!
