This will absolutely limit my purchasing with sideshow. Amex is basically the only card I use.

Same here. Maybe it's another sign for me to cut back on orders.

Yea this is a bummer. Love how they throw this info down less than 48 hours from the Thanos PO.

Millions of businesses accept Amex what complications could a huge company like SS have. Goodbye SS

They want you to buy Thanos. Funny how they put that in the notice.

Visa or Mastercard probably doesn't matter much these days. I assume you have a Mastercard since you want a Visa? Perhaps if you use Amazon, see if they offer you a pre-approved card. They give points towards Amazon purchases plus at times $50 - $100 off toys to join, of which statues are in that category. You can get statues from Kotobukiya, Gentle Giant, DC, Tweeterhead, and some others.

Return terms? Even though Sideshow will accept returns for 30 days. Perhaps cost of business?

I'm assuming SS didn't want to pay Amex rates for transactions... It defiantly sucks as I get AMEX reward points for all purchases...

No i dont have either. I only deal with Amex for 15 years because they give you pretty good points on every purchase. So now I'm left looking for a Card that its good on giving point on every purchase :sos:

Amex are not the most valuable points as is. I understand why people keep their cards due to the customer service.

PayPal only works for in stock items.

My guess would be that amex is too willing to cancel a card after purchase and pull the money. Several Clients I work with have been burned by that. Not sure if they were Amex in particular.

Look into Amazon then. It's called the Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card. If you use them a lot or have their Prime subscription they give more points on purchases. In fact they just updated their terms on points for Prime members along with a new card design.

They let you combine points, free shipping, and their discounts as well so it's easy to get stuff for free.

I was told by a rep. That PayPal can only be used on stock items with free shipping :puke2:
So pretty much saying to ppl with PayPal take our garbage :rant:

Yeah this sucks. But I switched over to my Amazon Visa, at least I'll get points towards Amazon purchases.

Shouldn't this be in the "ask Sideshow" section?

Unless you can use PayPal this will make them lose all my POs with me and I will demand my nrds back...bull----

Capital One Venture.

As I travel, the double miles are worth it. But the miles can also be converted to cash if need be.

My fiancé also has Citi Cash - so we speak highly of both cards.

Good luck Amex users, I know I would be heated too.

I don't have an amazon account. I may go with back of America cash rewards card.

:hilarious:

Sounds like a clusterf--k of epic proportions. Sideshow definitely didn't think this decision through and assumed everyone used multiple cards.

Had this decision affected VISA cardholders, then I would've been screwed, since I never use AMEX.

yeah, I will be probably scaling back too b/c of this.

I asked SS.. this is only for new orders. You won't have to change it for orders currently on flex.
