You cannot pay your American Express credit card with a debit card, regardless of whether you are trying to pay online, in person, or over the phone. American Express also does not allow you to pay a credit card balance with a different credit card, except for balance transfers.
Other Options for Paying American Express Credit Card Bills
- Online with a checking or savings account
- Over the phone with a checking or savings account
- By mail with a check or money order
One way you can indirectly use a debit card to make an American Express credit card payment is to withdraw money from an ATM with the debit card, then pay in cash either in person at a branch or at one of the issuer's ATMs. However, it's generally easier to pay using another method, as this just adds steps to the payment process.
