The reason for this deal is that American Express members can now link their cards to their TripAdvisor profiles, and any review of a service they buy with their card will be designated as an “Amex Card Member Review.” This will give users of tripadvisor another way to verify that the descriptions they are reading are real.

Nothing against American Express personally- their travel insurance is quite good.
TripAdvisor on the other hand...Evil!
I know as a retailer Amex fees must hurt but not sure how I am being screwed as a user, I don't pay any interest and receive approx. £300-400 per year in cashback on my card with no fees at all?
I love amex great deals excellent customer service. What's not to like!!
I love amex great deals excellent customer service. What's not to like!! Supermarkets make enough money and AMEX allows the consumer a better deal. I can't speak highly enough of them!
Why would a consumer be screwed. We get a good deal my friend, the business loses out and it's about time the consumer had something go its way. I always use amex when doing rail journeys for example why should they continue to gain profit and consumers lose money!
You sound like a disgruntled business owner/retailer. Maybe a B&B or privately run hotel, by your dislike or Trip Advisor also? IIRC Amex are around 4%?
But what about World Mastercard that charges 3% odd? The Santander 123 and Tesco are examples of these, and like Amex, by using high transaction fees they provide a reward system in the form of cash back or points to the consumer.
This coupled with spending targets bonuses with Amex with (like the Gold card currently for the 1st year) no annual fee make it a no brainer...
How else would I rack up my points to fly business class?
Nearly all the big high street shops take it, probably the only big chains I can think of that don't are Wilkinson and B&Q, even primark take it now days!
I have a backup visa credit card but I barely ever use it..
Yes and yes.
I got my £5 so im a happy bunny :-)

It is like taking advice off the toilet wall....anyone can write anything with absolutely no come-back. There should be a way to blot out all single reviews, or those without links to facebook/google+ or some other vague proof of ID.
And what about TripAdvisor pop-ups?? I thought most respectable businesses stopped using them in 1999. Such a waste of time.
I had similar concerns. You're being screwed either which way if you chose to spend.Especially NationalRail! And if you have to spend and it is a cahsback card, then it works out quite well. Besides you do get small perks like this. There was a £15 of £50 fuel fill up, £5 back at select places and so on.
Been using it for just under a year and it's accepted widely, just not KFC, TKMaxx, and the very local shops.
On the whole I would certainly recommend amex. Although I do keep a Visa just in case, and the spend is mostly 90/10.
Thanks OP!
