The American Express cash advance fee is 5% (min $10) per transaction, whichever is higher. A cash advance fee is a fee charged when using an American Express credit card for cash withdrawals at an ATM.
Bear in mind that when you do a cash advance, you will incur other costs in addition to the American Express cash advance fee. There’s a separate cash advance APR that applies immediately after you complete the transaction. The ATM owner may also impose additional charges.
You can get an American Express cash advance at participating ATMs, up to the card's available cash advance limit. To start, call American Express customer service at (800) 227-4669 to request a cash advance PIN. Once you have your PIN, simply insert the card into a participating ATM, type in your PIN, and select “Cash Advance.” Then enter the amount of cash you want to withdraw.
A credit card cash advance limit is the maximum amount a cardholder can withdraw from the card’s full credit line as a cash advance. Your credit card cash advance limit will be a certain percentage of your whole credit card limit. Some online reports mention that the cash advance limit is usually from 5% to 30% of your credit card limit. Note that this percentage can vary based on the card issuer.
