How do you upgrade your American Express card?

@WalletHub

March 27, 2018

Typically, you can only upgrade your American Express credit card after you’ve received an offer inviting you to do so. However, you may also call customer service at 1-800-528-4800 and ask them if you’re eligible to upgrade your card. When making the call, enter your account number, and ask to discuss your upgrade options with a representative. An update is not guaranteed, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to ask. Hope this helps!

How does the american express credit card work?

@WalletHub

February 13, 2018

Credit cards issued by American Express work just like any other credit card – they provide consumers with a convenient way to borrow money to pay for their purchases. The only difference is that American Express has its own payment network, so it is not affiliated with either Visa or Mastercard. They offer regular credit cards, which offer the possibility to pay for purchases over the course of several months, and they also offer charge cards, which require consumers to pay their balance in full at the end of each month. In the latter case, it is not possible to carry over a balance. Hope this helps!

The easiest way is to apply directly through WalletHub. After picking the credit card you are interested in, click the orange “Apply Now” tab on the right. You will be redirected to the issuer’s page, where you can submit your application. Make sure you always verify terms with the financial institution before applying, and don’t forget to check your credit score for free on WalletHub, to maximize your chances of approval. Best of luck!
