why Apple my AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD NOT ALLOWED

How hard and turf work needed for achieving my American express credit card but Apple couldn't accept so I am felt so sad.I have two master card but those two card I don't have my controlled when those two card active or disabled it's really turf to identified otherwise master card doesn't build credit score. so what I will do now? I am entered in online last six month before this six month past I never felt for requiring an international credit card but I am where from here it is too much turf to manage a credit card.This credit card issued I can't do my own business properly and also doesn't do business with Apple.I have my own online internet business and where a lots of users wanted many types of Apple goods I just told their wait for some days but now they also lose their faith for me about Apple goods and my online shops.

now I wanted and requested to accept my AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT CARD or managed a card which card no one can be controlled or when the card is to be disabled or inactive that I would be known.

I find this reference stating that Apple accepts American Express cards

http://www.apple.com/shop/help/payments

and this also has a reference

Payment methods that you can use in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

The only reason I can think of that Apple would refuse American Express or any other card is that your billing address is different than the country the Store is in.

What country are you in?

Apple accepts different kinds of payment in some countries.

Apple's payment methods statement is pretty vague.

American Express apparently charges a higher rate to vendors for using their card so they hold less of the market and it probably just isn't worth it.

AE is not really a "credit" card - it is a "charge" card - AE expects the balance to be paid each month.

AE offers the card to folks that it determines are a good risk for paying each month

- thus, a form of credit checking that they feel they can charge the vendor for (? my analysis ?)

It could be that in some cases, Apple does not accept that vetting process - country?

could Apple actually be running a quick credit check before accepting an AE card?

Many questions = methinks that only Apple can say for sure

(they probably consider their payment acceptance policy a trade secret)

AE used to be just a charge card but this link is for a credit card:

That was correct years ago; today, however, they are happy to have you maintain a balance and charge you a rather high interest rate on your balance.

They have BOTH styles according to their site - they indeed have been happy to charge you interest if you fail to pay off the balance - as I recall, they actually created the credit card in order to "transfer" the charge card unpaid balance

Yes, they have both, that's why I said "used to be just a charge card".
