Re: Why do so many businesses refuse to accept American Express ?
It switched a while back...
Costco takes ONLY Amex
Sam's takes ONLY Discover
It has to be something they have worked out with the card. But I remember a few years back when Sam's was only taking AMEX so it has changed, but that is how it currently is.
I think when AMEX came out it was an 'upper class' card and was suppose to have more perks and be harder to get. That of course is no longer the case, but I am sure they still think so and charge accordingly.
