I was promptly told that support for Amex was due to be added in January and, as promised, it arrived towards the end of the month. Now I can use my preferred payment method I will use the NXEC site as my preferred method of booking tickets. I earn many thousands of miles every year through purchases with my Amex card, so I like to put as much spend on it as possible.

Not very relevant result, but still interesting to read.

The new GNER on board EPOS systems have problems with Amex too so I'm told (although every time I've travelled they've been using the old systems) do you know if that's the same reason? This could also explain why you can't collect a Eurostar ticket from a station in France if it's paid for by Amex. Thanks Bill for your useful comments.

The new site is provided by Atos Origin (who are French). It should be resolved in January shortly follwed by Diners. the problem is caused by inconsistent rules between Amex in France and Amex in the UK relating to security measures.

Fares booked through GNER will be valid under the new franchise. As for how long this work around will work for Amex users then we'll have to see.
