Shopping, fuel, lunch, coffees, house and car insurance all done on Amex. I find that the only places which don’t take Amex are the kind of places I’m spending small sums.

I simply don’t agree with your comment that acceptance is ‘not great’. It’s not 100% but I’d say acceptance is good, but not great like Visa and MC.
Depends a lot on where you live. When I lived in Belfast AMEX acceptance by non-chains was very poor, but here in Birmingham it's almost universal.
