That being said, no one has better customer service than AMEX if you ever have a problem.



I have been as impressed with Discover's CS as I have been with my AMEX.

They have really upped their game big time in that regard.

I knew there was a chance that this would happen, based upon past articles over the last few months. However, that didn't stop me from obtaining an AMEX Costco card.

Looks like I'll have till 2016 to use it. Curious to see if Capital One wins out with MasterCard or VISA.

Well, looks like Costco just lost my business. Amex or bust in the business world. Costco will be back in the fold after they take this hit.


If I'm totally honest, I'd probably let my Costco membership expire before I stop using my AMEX.

I think they are going to discontinue the AMEX-COSTCO card and offer people that have one a different AMEX card.
