Amex Customer Insights

1. The App, (This App), BAD.I have been with American Express since 1991 and have had very positive experiences until the last app update, which is an absolute abomination!!! The app does not function correctly and the option to "pay other amount" does not work!! After so many complaints by customers I cannot understand why the application issues have not been resolved.

2. Other apps I've used such as Bank of America keep a running total balance next to each transaction, so if you like to pay off your total balance, then you can see what pending charges aren't being included in that payment.

3. If you enter an amount other than Total Balance, the radio button then defaults to Total Balance anyway.

4. Without that transparency, it is incredibly frustrating to pay off total balance and have that balance spike back up when the pending charges post.I have two amex accounts - my personal and the work/corporate one.

5. It is doable since they allow other options to split it or plan it.Very Confusing! AmEx tries to cram way to much stuff into the App, which causes it to be overwhelming for the user.

6. I'm glad they were able to make it easier to use your reward dollars in the app, although it can take a really long time for the reward amount to update with your recent purchases.

7. The amount being paid isn't on the following screen, so there's no way to see that the wrong amount was selected, and no way to cancel a payment after it's gone through.

8. I get all the data I want about individual purchases (e.g., rewards amount per transaction).

9. Very disappointing!!The current balance is not included below each transaction, making it extremely difficult to track how much you've charged.

10. The "pay other amount" feature has broken UX.

11. I haven't had issues with any other card.
