Differance between visa/mc and amex?
Can any tell me what is problem with amex ?

 

[dodirty]

Visa/mc is much bigger and are many banks that you Visa/mc as vendors...

Amex is just 1 bank with all information with them they know your spending patterns and can automatically catch fraud...

but i am asking cos i heard some cashier checking cvv? Is it true ? I have my personal amex and never had it. Even outside of my country.

 

[dodirty]

Well, its your real card and you worry about cashier because it is legit.
You might not notice but they type in the 4 digits on the front of the card on AMEX.

They do it a lot...

Amex has a lot of security. Those are very hard to use. Mostly when they notice fraud, they either close the card and the dump is dead, or they tell the merchant to ask for zipcode.

But there are very good moments with Amex too. It all depends.

Some amex'es got really great limits on it...

Today i done my first amex. In my country nobody check last 4 etc... Amex r very good but one problem. U can make one big transaction and never use this card cos after that if u wanna buy somthing for more then 100$ is call autorisation and its fucked up.

I disagree, Amex cards have just the same security as any others. They also do not have VBV or any other verification. Not everywhere accepts Amex but most do and are easy to card with. But thats for online, should be the same in real time.

 

[qbishonex]

Yes its really easy. and they have great limits

Pissible to amex will block all bin on one region after one bigger transaction ?
