Cardmember Benefits
American Express Customer Service Team
Should you need assistance, dedicated customer service representatives are on call 24/7 to help replace lost, stolen or damaged Cards, provide information on your monthly statements, answer enquiries about payment terms or explain your Card benefits.
Flexible spending privileges
There is no pre-set spending limit on your Card unless your company sets one. For your protection, we may call you to confirm your identity if you make a purchase that seems outside of your normal spending pattern. If you anticipate making an out-of-pattern purchase, you can avoid a phone confirmation by contacting our Customer Service Team in advance.
Online Account Management
Once you’ve signed up for Online Account Management, you can make payments, view statements, complete expense reports and manage your Membership Rewards® 24/7, anywhere Internet access is available. In agreement with your company’s policies, you may also receive monthly statements online.
To receive marketing related offers and news about Card benefits as well as special promotions and offers, login to your account and update your profile and preferences.
Express Cash
Cash access is available on the Gold Corporate Card, subject to application and approval. Your Programme Administrator can tell you whether your company participates in this program.1
Contactless, Apps and Wallets
Cardmembers can pay contactless with their Card directly or by adding their Card to their mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay) and tapping to pay at thousands of stores that displays our contactless symbol. It’s a quick, easy and secure way to make payments. Simply touch your Card or phone on the reader, wait for the beep and you’re done.
The American Express Mobile App allows you to easily and conveniently
- View activity and statements
- Make payments
- Access special offers for discounts and savings
- Receive instant fraud alerts

Chip & PIN
Your Card uses Chip & PIN technology to provide extra security and convenience. Once you have activated your Card, you can personalise your PIN atany UK LINK cashpoint offering PIN services.
If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times, your Card will be temporarily locked. If this happens, contact the Customer Service Team for a PIN reminder. Use this to unlock your Card at any UK LINK cashpoint that offers PIN services, by following the on-screen instructions.
For more information about using your Chip and PIN Card visit americanexpress.co.uk/chipandpin
