Amex won't let me pay

[Anonymous]

Okay so I know CCC don't usually like you to pay multiple times throughout the month, but I thought Amex let you pay anytime you have a balance. Apparently this is not the case lol. I've got a balance on my Amex BCE and want to pay it down to 0 but it just tells me payment is not required when I click "Make Payment". I suppose I'll keep my money??? LOL

Did you just open the account? If so, AMEX only allows one outstanding payment for the first 30 days. After that, it is up to six.

You can only pay once in the first month a bankj account has been added. You can push payment from the bank though I believe

Verification purposes That's what I was told by AMEX a while ago.

You can log onto your bank account and pay it through bill pay.

Yeah that's true but it's easier just to press pay on CC website. I'll just wait until they want my money

Happened to me my first month. I just wrote them a check and sent it to the Florida bill pay address listed on the website. Once you or your au gets the first statement, any new Am Ex accounts  either of you open can be paid immediately on line without waiting for the first statement.

If your balance is too high you may want to make a payment so that it won't show up on your credit report and lower your utilization/ scores for a month. I don't use bill pay so it was easier to just mail the check. It took about 6 days before it posted to my account. Am Ex reports to the bureaus promptly when the statement closes so keep that in mind.

That is when you use your bill pay service on your banking accoung.
