There’s no connection to that fact and the product being withdrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingRaider Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just been informed that new American Express cards are no longer available in the IOM ... apparently there has been an instruction issued within the last few days ... applies to CI as well. No-one in the call centre seems to know if or for how long existing cards will be allowed to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikingRaider Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Cards directly from Amex ... both business and personal. I may be wrong but I thought Amex had withdrawn all the UK licences for branded cards a while ago, please post if you know differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a throwaway remark at all, one borne out of never being in debt for things I can't afford (mortgage excluded) . Unlike the younger "must have" generation. Nothing to do with 'must have'. Its about getting money in a smart way and easing the humps and bumps. If you do it right you can use credit cards and never pay any interest at all.

Lots of benefits to running a credit card that have nothing to do with getting into debt or wanting things you couldn’t otherwise afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hey, why don’t the Iom gov issue there own credit card for the people ? let’s call it the Tynwald doi card where you can spend as much as you like and never pay it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better if you can collect points, cashback or membership benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had an amex plat charge card for around 8 years now with an iom address.. I took the charge card as like to pay the balance in full every month and they were brill during the cancellations due to covid . They have not sent me any notice yet.

They still make AMEX a packet. Though admittedly that's purely through their fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
