In March we learned that American Express and Costco would be cutting ties, which was a pretty big loss for American Express.

It would appear that Discover is accepted at Sam's Club as well. I thought they even had a co-branded deal some time ago with Discover.
So the $25 credit is only for buying a new membership rather than for actual purchases at Sam's Club? Doesn't sound very useful then...
I wonder if Sam's Club Gas stations would be considered a gas station or warehouse club.
Sam's Club has accepted Discover for a very long time. Much longer than mastercard.
This is GREAT news. I am already a Sam's Club member, and had been using my AAdvantage MasterCard here. I am excited to use my SPG Amex here though, instead, as it is a much greater return points wise and I do spend a decent amount at Sam's!
Hi Ben,
My Amex Everyday Preferred card got suspended few days ago. I called the card center, the manager told me she suspended the card because amex wants some info from me, then she asked me all the personal info including why I purchased an item from ebay for 780 dollars. I think that's too personal, and she asked me what to do with the item. That's way too far from gathering info in my opinion. She said I need to fax her the past 2 months of my debit card statements to review, otherwise she will close my card. I think this is absurd! I paid my monthly payments full all the time! She said because I'm a college student the money my parents give me shouldn't count as reliable income. The whole thing is out of my mind and I'm really mad. Is this normal for amex to review customers like this?
I have been using my Barclay's arrival card or AAdvantage MasterCard for my business purchases but now I'm tempted to use my SPG amex. Which one of the 3 do you consider the best option?

How classy, they dropped food stamps (SNAP) and added AMEX!

Why not mention Discover? Do you not have a referral link for them?

Will this promo work with serve cards?
