Fake news.
So many emails and messages with fake news changes from readers. It's not for the US folks!

Why is this going viral?

It's going viral because it's real.  Announced this morning.  Already live on AmEx website (yes, USA).

Many are not believing it because of the Canadian AmEx news that spread like wildfire yesterday.

It would probably help if people would post sources for their news instead of just making a post describing the news. We all appreciate the info but show us where you read it!

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.
