The AMEX card not being taken is not unique to TV. It is in retail in general, especially the smaller businesses that can get visa and master charge rates of 1.5% or even less.....not so with AMEX.
When it is said there is no reason for businesses to not take AMEX, that is from the AMEX consumer point of view only. From the business owners point of view there is a very good reason....why give up another 1% + + profit to handle AMEX when 90% ++ use visa and MC?
The impact on business for not taking AMEX is very negligable...that is why so many do not.
