Forums Payment cards American Express How to pay with AmEx when retailer does not accept AmEx or PayPal

  • 1 post

    I have a large holiday payment to make but the tour company does not accept Amex (personal BA premium card) There are companies such as Kasheesh who offer a virtual Mastercard or multiple virtual credit cards which then charge your AmEx for a 2% fee but it seems Kasheesh is not available in the UK.
    Is there any equivalent companies offering a similar service to Kasheesh in the uk? NOTE PayPal is not an option as the amount is over their credit limit.
    With the increase in minimum spend on the BA AmEx and the reluctance of some retailers to accept AmEx, achieving a companion voucher and increased tier status is becoming an issue.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    You can look at Apron but they have VERY strict B2B requirements so you are unlikely to pass muster. You’d need to register as a company yourself and be paying a company for what looks like a B2B transaction.

    NOTE PayPal is not an option as the amount is over their credit limit.

    Can you do multiple smaller payments on Paypal over a period of a few days?
