Seems you need to use multiple providers and route payments depending on card type if you want lowest rates. For example, mollie is 2.5% for Amex but Stripe is 1.5% for Amex but or others it swings other way.

Almost only Americans use Amex though, unless you exclusively target the US market, you can skip it and basically not miss out on a single customer.

In UK Amex are relatively big.

They do cards with airlines where the customer can earn free flights and other such reward schemes to attract customers.

Interesting, has that changed lately? I remember sitting in a pub talking with a bunch of software engineers living and working in London, maybe 15 years ago, and we were joking about how weird it was that the American tourist tried to pay with American Express, and neither of us had seen an actual American Express card in person before that. Maybe is different nowadays, or maybe we were just in a tiny pub?
