Do Big Things with Plan It^®

What is American Express Plan It® Instalments?

Break down your costs and the stress of managing large payments with our payment feature: Plan It. Now you can turn shock bills into manageable instalments.

Choose between planning a portion of your Credit Card balance, or simply plan one eligible purchase at a time.

Plan It Amount-based enables you to plan a portion of your Credit Card balance over $150 AUD into either 3, 6, or 12 month instalment plans. With Plan It, you won't be charged interest for amounts moved into an instalment plan, instead you'll pay a fixed monthly plan fee.

We’ve also taken Plan It to the next level with Plan It Purchase-based. This exciting new feature allows Card Members to plan individual purchases over $150 AUD. So, whether you're purchasing a new washing machine or splurging on that dream holiday, you can pull the transaction into a monthly plan. Just like with the Amount-based feature, you'll pay 0% p.a. interest on purchases moved into instalment plans, however there is a fixed monthly fee.

Be in Control of Monthly Repayments with Plan It Instalments

Life is full of expense-intensive periods such as holidays, birthdays, or even moving to a new house. During these times, having options to manage your repayments can be a game-changer. Plan It is a different way to pay and can help takes the edge off, by allowing you to pay down your outstanding balance in equal monthly payments. And if you’re just not loving it, don’t worry; we make saying goodbye easy as we don’t charge a cancellation fee.
