But nooo! So many merchants don't accept AMEX, I've been vexed at nearly every turn.
How do you SPG AMEX aficionados maximize use of that card?
So MANY??? You must be kidding. Every MAJOR merchant in America accepts Amex. The only merchant that I use who doesn't is my dentist. All my other doctors take Amex. I pay my rather large Verizon, Comcast, and Sprint bills using Amex. I buy all my groceries at Safeway and drug store purchases at CVS/pharmacy using Amex. I buy major purchases at Amazon.com (where you can buy almost anything) and Target using Amex. I eat at restaurants, where 98% of them take Amex,
Just where do you shop where you can't use Amex? Can you name any major retailer that won't take Amex?
