Well, let’s see. AmEx canceled my card as I was waiting in line to rent a car.. (how do they DO that? Always AFTER your vacation has started!) But then again, I didn’t eat my AmEx card and DIE. We’ll go PCA.
Amex is the higher seed? Come on Consumerist, are you sure you didn’t mean any other credit card company in the world.
Seeing how Peanut Corporation of America is out of business, I think this is a rather inane comparison. Why don’t we compare Peanut Corporation of America to whatever company manufactured Zyklon B?
It would be nice if you’d include a paragraph about each company being voted on, summarizing why they’re so bad. I don’t remember AmEx doing anything especially awful, but but maybe they did & I just missed it.
Hmmm… let’s compare.
The higher seed is a credit card company that tells you all the ways it could screw with you before you get your card (and you can disagree and not get the card if you want). They have an excellent reputation for customer service.
The latter, lower seed is a company that knowingly had numerous health code violations and shopped around for further test results for days after they found out their product was tainted.
How is this even a question?
