(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 07, 2009 ) Philadelphia, PA - The attorneys at Cohen, Placitella & Roth are currently investigating consumer complaints regarding the True Earnings credit card from American Express and Costco. Some cardholders allege that they did not receive the cash back reward they earned by using the card because American Express canceled their accounts shortly before the date when the yearly cash rebate was supposed to be awarded. After canceling the accounts of these cardholders, American Express withheld the yearly cash rebates that were due to them.

The True Earnings credit card from Costco and American Express is supposed to 3% cash back for gas purchases up to $3,000 (1% thereafter), 3% cash back for restaurants, 2% cash back for travel, and 1% cash back everywhere else, including Costco. In addition, there is supposed to be no limit on the amount of cash back earned. The practice of canceling accounts in order to avoid paying the cash back rebate may be illegal and in violation of consumer protection statutes. In some cases, the cash rebates American Express Costco True Earnings cardholders had earned were hundreds of dollars.

The lawyers at Cohen, Placitella & Roth are committed to fighting for the rights of individuals who were unfairly denied their American Express Costco Rewards True Earnings cash rebate.
