American Express International Euro Card
Hello everyone
I'm interested in the "American Express International Euro Card" which is issued in the UK.
Can anyone apply for this card or does the potential customer need to reside in the UK?
Thanks

No. They are not offered to those who reside in the USA, otherwise anyone can apply.

On the site, it says
"Please note, they are not offered in the USA to USA residents"
Is it possible that you get a different page/notice when you access the site from the US?
What it does say is that you must have been a member for six months in order to get this card: "Please note International Currency Card products are only available to existing American Express customers with more than six months of membership"
The reason that I would like to apply for this card is because I'm not a member yet.

They have changed the rules recently to bring in the 6 month membership thing.
On the positive side, this replaces the old policy whereby they wanted bank references and took literally weeks to consider your application.

Just refloating this old thread to see if anyone who has a ICC Platinum Euro/Dollar card has been having issues logging in lately?
This has happened to me for the last 2 weeks or so - basically I have acess to my account overview where I can see the transactions and monthly spend. However, I am unable to click on "Platinum" to view the benefits page and the offers Amex posts in there from time to time. Once I click there, it keeps logging me out and asking me to log in again - pretty annoying.
I have told Amex but they simply said that they are aware of some IT issues... Not good.
Thanks!

Out of curiosity, can someone who has one of these cards elaborate on how it works? Is this linked to your local country's Amex card? And how does payment work? Are there foreign transaction fees if you use the card for non-$/non-euro purchases?

You pay the bill using your US Dollar or Euro bank account, see here:

This is a separate American Express card account unrelated to any other cards or accounts. There is a separate website for account management, and there is a separate version of Membership Rewards with its own earning rate and redemption options. There is a fee for transactions in other currencies (Dollar card = 3%, Euro card = 2.7%)
You pay the bill using your US Dollar or Euro bank account, see here:

A shame they have FX fees as the benefits are quite generous, in some cases exceeding the US Platinum.

Insurance coverage is much more comprehensive, but the Membership Rewards program is inferior and there is (example) no $200 airline fee reimbursement.
