MikeHad an email this morning that set my spider senses sizzling - wrongly! "Your American Express Card has been de-linked from your Android device" - it came from a genuine address, and all the checks appeared OK. My card was in my phone's wallet - so what was going on?A lot of digging around seems to link this to my new phone - I changed my phone a couple of months ago. So, Amex have - quite rightly - de-linked the card from the Wallet that I removed from the old phone. The question remains - why has it taken them so long to send a spammy looking email.(I'd happily ditch Amex but the cashback is quite nice, and they seem just a tiny less evil than the alternatives)<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/AmericanExpress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanExpress</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Amex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amex</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/GoogleWallet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleWallet</a>
