Possible to change statement closing date with AMEX, Chase, or Discover?

[yapsalot]

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the statement closing date of AMEX, Chase or Discover? I have three Amex cards, one Chase card and one Discover card. All of them have the closing dates bunched up within a week. If I could change the closing dates, I could get it where I could make charges and not have to pay for a month or so on a rolling basis. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure all 3 allow you to do this. Some lenders may say you can change the due date instead, but that ultimately effects the cycle end date. What I do is call and ask, then when they tell me what dates are available and I choose one, I ask them to tell me what both dates would be.

I'm nearly positive you can with the Chase & Discover card.

Yes, you can.  Just call and speak with them and it will be arranged.

Yes, I called AMEX, Bank of America and Chase and they all readily changed the statement dates. Didn't need to change Discover. I have six credit cards. I set it up so that I have one credit card statement closing every five days. So now my statement cut dates are the 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 of each month. I pay the cards in full every month. Now I can use the card with the payment date that is the farthest out in order to get almost 2 months to pay for any purchase without paying interest.

Yes.  And I feel like there was a post sometime ago, as a result of changing a statement/due date this person ended up with a little extra time to pay for that months charges.  I don't think it always works out that way though lol.
