As said in the movie Wall Street when being asked about why Gordon Gecko would ruin that small company, "because I can!"

In this case the "I" would be Amex.

Can someone please pm me the answer to this question, or post here?

I am wondering why there's so little chatter about the MC card, and much chatter about the VS cards.
See the blogs on the staples gcs
They cannot be loaded to the bb
Only beans can
And dd
And debit at wm
Its all in here and in the blogs
And it will die soon too because greed is good and...
because it can
