Costco to No Longer Accept AMEX, Only Visa
March 3, 2015
Costco currently only accepts American Express cards.
Soon, Costco will accept Visa cards.
Starting April 1, 2016 (in 13 months), Costco will no longer accept American Express.
This is primarily of interest to me because many people who fill out my Free Credit Card Consultation Form let me know that they need an AMEX because they do a lot of their shopping at Costco.

$10 Credit for New and Existing Uber Users
October 8, 2014
Uber is my favorite way to get around. I no longer call or flag down taxis. On a recent trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles, I didn’t rent a car, using Uber to get around instead.
Uber is the world’s best taxi service because it has clean, courteous drivers and the easiest ride-ordering app imaginable. Tap, tap, tap, and a car whose progress you can track towards you is on its way.
American Express is currently running a promotion with Uber during which new and existing Uber customers can get a $10 American Express statement credit.

American Express and Discover Have Highest Customer Satisfaction
August 28, 2014
The J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Credit Card Satisfaction Study concludes that American Express and Discover have the highest customer satisfaction of any credit card issuers.
The study measures customer satisfaction with credit card issuers by examining six factors:
interaction
credit card terms
billing and payment
rewards
benefits and services
problem resolution
American Express has been #1 for all eight years of the study, and this year for the first time, it was tied for the top spot with Discover.
Interestingly, overall satisfaction with credit cards is at a record-high, surpassing last year's record high.
