To get an American Express cash advance, use an American Express credit card and a corresponding PIN at a participating ATM and withdraw the cash, up to the card’s available cash advance limit. If you do not have a PIN, contact American Express customer service at 1 (800) 528-4800 to request one.
How to Get an American Express Cash Advance at an ATM
- Call American Express customer service at 1 (800) 528-4800 and request a PIN, if you don’t already have one.
- Insert the credit card into an ATM and enter the PIN.
- Select the cash advance option on the ATM screen.
- Enter the amount you’d like to withdraw.
- Withdraw the cash and remove the credit card from the ATM.
There may be other ways to get a cash advance from your American Express credit card, too. For example, you could also fill out an American Express cash advance check and use it like a traditional bank check.
Keep in mind that an American Express cash advance is a very expensive transaction. For starters, a cash advance fee and a separate cash advance APR apply as soon as you withdraw the cash. There may also be ATM-owner fees, depending on where you get the cash advance.

You cannot get an Amex credit card cash advance at the bank, because American Express doesn’t have physical locations.
The only way to do a cash advance is by using an ATM. Still, my advice would be to avoid cash advances altogether, as they are very expensive.
