Before you pay
- Fewer cashiers than Visa. Some show Amex and still fail at the acquirer.
- Watch cash-advance fees. Gambling can post as a purchase or a cash advance depending on the issuer.
- Deposit only. Expect Interac or an e-wallet for the withdrawal.
FAQ
Why did Amex fail when Visa worked?
The acquirer may not take Amex. That is not a broken Visa page.
Can I withdraw to Amex?
Almost never. Use Interac or an e-wallet.
Is this prepaid Visa?
No. Prepaid is a loaded Visa BIN. Amex is a charge/credit network.
