Sugar Slams American Express After Credit Limit Rejection
Lord Alan Sugar has called American Express 'a bunch of idiots' after being denied an increase to his credit limit. The billionaire, who has a reported net worth of £1.138 billion, spoke to multiple representatives over the phone before being refused due to their system.
Sugar, known for his reality TV show The Apprentice, claimed that he spoke to someone aware of his financial status but it made no difference in securing an increase to his credit limit. He posted on X about the experience, which sparked a range of reactions from followers.
One user questioned why Sugar expected 'royal treatment' for himself, pointing out that many people face similar issues when dealing with American Express. Sugar responded by calling them 'a bunch of idiots' and explaining that he uses credit cards to make purchases, not just because of his wealth but also due to convenience.
