Pay It, Plan It allows cardholders a couple of payment options, depending on their transactions. Now, both programs are available with all three of those cards.
With a traditional credit card, you can either pay off your monthly balance in full or pay it over time. But with charge cards , like those issued by American Express, your balance is typically due in full every month. It could be especially helpful if they want to target specific purchases to pay down based on their needs.
That said, if you prefer to continue paying your balance in full every month, you still have that ability. And doing so will be less expensive than using either of these programs. Both of these features offer greater flexibility for American Express cardholders, but at a cost. Paying off your balance in full every month is the best way to avoid interest and fees.

The Takeaway. Setting up automatic payments can help take the worry out of missing a payment. You just have to make sure you have enough in the bank to cover your payments. Set up text or email alerts. If you are more hands-on and prefer to review your credit card bill before paying it, this is a good alternative. Some card companies have mobile apps in which you can set notifications that give you a weekly snapshot of spending as well as payment reminders, statement ready reminders, bill due reminders, and more.
Amex absolutely does not like late payers. It sounds like there is a big downside to not paying Amex , so why chance it? The payment "due" date is not really the date it's due, with Amex charge cards. That's the date they suggest that they want to see it by, but they take absolutely no action as long as you pay by the end of the statement cycle during which the payment is due. Depending on your payment date and your statement closing date, this could either prove helpful to you or not.
In any event, might buy you another few days. Okay so I just checked, and my statement close date is January This is correct. I have a charge card and they always want payment by the 27th. However, it absolutely has to be there by the 10th.
I've paid between the 27th and the 10th and never had a problem. If you are going to go past the statement date I would call or just drain the ING account and put it back By the way this is why I hate charge products. I like the flexibility with CC 's for cases just like this. Thank you!!! And God, do I hate construction loans. Mummy, don't blow off AmEx when it comes to payments And don't ever get yourself in this bind again with them--I'm in AmExSiberia because I couldn't pay them back in the day, and they won't let me have another CC.
I know there's Oasis but I owed them so much back then not sure exactly how much that I don't know I could pay it off now or not, if they even wanted to take me back. Yes, so if your statement closes the 26th, then you have up until the 25th before 3pm I think to initiate the payment. Amex then won't consider you late, even though you technically are.
I've never understood why they do it this way Seems like the 'real' due date is ALWAYS the last day of your current statement cycle, yet they print the 'due date' on the statement which is usually days earlier.
They should either stick with the printed due date, or change the printed due date to match the actual due date of the last day of the statement cycle. Amex can be a very confusing beast sometimes. That said, I love my charge card from them. I only have green, not platinum, but I still love it. Hope you don't worry too much about this, just pay by the 25th so it posts in your recent history by the 26th and you will be fine.
