Cancel American Express Card

Cancelling a credit card

Card issuers close accounts only once the balance is settled, and recurring payments and rewards are tied to the card, so a closure request should name the account and say what should happen to each of them.

Putting the request in writing means there is a date on file for when you asked, which matters if a charge appears afterwards.

American Express Card lets you cancel directly (phone: call the number on the back of your Card; from outside the US call collect 1-336-393-1111). A letter is the fallback that leaves a dated record when the direct route fails.
