You haven't seen AMEX in Europe? I've had one for years and used it all over Europe with zero problems whatsoever.

Your observation doesn’t change that OP hasn’t seen it.

Amex is a small card processor. According to the Nilson report [0], Visa and MasterCard made up 80% of global transaction dollar amount in 2016. Amex, Discover and JCB combined made up 5%.

You may know of Amex but they are a very small card, especially outside of the US.
