I just called AMEX about a finance charge on my account. There were charges in two consecutive months. Since I pay my entire new balance on the due date every month, I should never have a finance charge. They said that they charge everyone that ever gets a cash advance a finance charge because “people that get cash advances usually dont pay their entire blance each month”. They removed the charges.

Something seem fishy here? I smell class action…

Great information. You did a good job.

I haven’t thought I can do this. Because I have two American Express Cards and I alway confuse with different billing periods, I missed March bill for one of them with “purchase finance charge” of over 100 bucks.

Before I called them, I google what “purchase finance charge is for.

Thank you for you post, then I followed your step. They did waive.
