it's probably because they have to pay higher fees per transaction

Forced to have one as a company card, can’t use it anywhere so then have to use my own card.

The fees they charge. The retailer pays an enormous amount for the 'privilege' of taking the card. 😬

Didn’t realise they were still a thing, never seem to hear about them any more.

"The fees they charge. The retailer pays an enormous amount for the 'privilege' of taking the card. 😬"

This, and also they take customers’ queries/claims more seriously with chargebacks/refunds etc, which makes it more of a faff to retailers.

Their prerogative if they prefer not to take it…

"What’s that all about again?"

In a previous work life I worked for Amex.. nice employers I will give them that!

Probably because of the transaction fees… and remember that American Express isn’t a debit or credit card.. it’s a charge card, and the rules are different around those….

In West London, particularly, it's accepted pretty much everywhere. American Express have a "support small businesses" ethos, where they charge lower fees for local shops, independents, cafés, gift shops etc. I use mine all of the time; it's a credit card, not a charge card.

I don't know anyone who has ever had one but I know of quite a few businesses who don't accept any cards now because of fees.

My local butcher and at least half of the fast food outlets among them.
