While AMEX was the "Official" Credit CArd of WDW there were certain discounts and benefits available. Since they went to Visa allof these benefits have disappeared.

It is true that there is no preset limit. Unless other arrangements are made, in theory the entire bill is due on presentation. About two years ago my bill one month was about $38,000 (with one item over $17,000); however we had moved from Virginia to Florida, sold a house, and lots of other stuff. Of course I have had my account for over 35 years and they were not worried about me. However, a new person could possibly be cut off.

It depends on which Amex card you use. The Blue card has a limit and monthly minimum payments (more like a traditional credit card). I'm not sure about disounts, but the Membership Rewards program lets you earn points on purhcases that you can exchange for different items. Maybe you can earn something to help you cut the costs of a trip?

I miss AmEx being the "official" Disney card. We would get little gifts upon checking in when we used the card to book vacations; fanny packs, visors, luggage tags, etc. Now Visa is the official card, so no more AmEx discounts.

I still use my AmEx every day instead of cash to get the rewards points!! The regular AmEx cards (green, gold, etc.) are 'charge' cards, though, not credit cards. The AmEx Blue card is a credit card. Charge cards require payments due in full once a month.
