Please, American Express, stop using inks that run when accidentally exposed to water. It’s really not that hard. In the scrapbooking industry, we learned long ago that pigment-based inks are relatively water-resistant, while dye-based inks will rapidly run all over the place if they accidentally get wet.
Water is a fact of life and it is impossible to prevent accidental exposure to water. In my case, I had your February statement sitting on my kitchen table, along with a water bottle which developed a leak. The statement got wet and the ink ran everywhere. This is not good, and it is especially not good since the February statement contained my annual reward check. Fortunately, Costco honored the smeared-ink check and gave me my money, although the check was in such bad shape that I wasn’t at all sure they would take it.
