2. The automated rep with ask you what you need help with, say “Customer Service”

3. The automated rep will ask for your card number, say “Customer Service”

It is a good idea to have your card number ready to expedite the conversation.

If you feel that your question is complicated, ask to speak to a supervisor right away, and don’t waste time on talking to a regular rep. This is will save you serious aggravation, as reps are not authorized to make any decisions on your account, and will transfer you to a supervisor anyway, after having wasted your time and asking a million questions.

If you prefer NOT to speak on the phone, you can chat with a live rep on the American Express website. Note: You need to log into your account, otherwise the online chat option is not available.

Another option is to download the American Express app. The latest version has a fingertip touch authentication so that you can quickly access your account online.
