Amex?s Ad Agency Asks Us To Remove Post, Threatens Future Business

An advertising agency that represents American Express took issue with my post yesterday complaining about my failed efforts to get a simple credit card. In the post, titled Damnit Amex, Give Me A Credit Card, I complained about the difficulty of someone in my particular demographic to get credit, and noted the usefulness of Credit Karma, a startup that gives people immediate access to their credit report.

Some users actually saw an ad for the Amex ZYNC card next to the post.

In an email to our sales team, the agency said "We found this on your site today, obviously not a good thing for AMEX or for ZYNC branding."
