I paid $4.95 for a prepaid gift card and loaded the exact amount i needed to purchase an online order. Little did I know, they sent at $1.00 charge to "test" if the card was working. This removed the $1 from my account, so when I posted my order, I was $1 short for my available balance, and my card declined. The order was cancelled, but the money was still not returned to my balance. I called amazon customer service who sped along the cancellation process and gave me a cancellation code to give to American Express to speed along the process of the money posting back into my account. When I called American Express they said they could do nothing, and I was forced to wait 8 days to get my money back. In the meantime, I really needed the things I was ordering online and was now forced to wait 8 days for over $300 of my own money to be returned to me, I had to borrow money from a friend.

All in all, I spent hours on the phone with customer service and was forced to wait 8 days to have MY MONEY returned to me, when my card was cancelled due to their own error. I will never again give American Express my business, and I want a refund for the $4.95 I spent on the card, and a genuine apology for the 8 days I had to do without the money that I badly needed.
