Credit cardsChecked July 11, 20263 steps

Short answer

Sign in to American Express, open Account › Addresses, replace your mailing address and save.

Open American Express’s address page

Steps

  1. Sign in and open Account → Addresses.
  2. Edit your home/billing address and save.
  3. Update any additional cards on the account if listed separately.

One American Express gotcha. Amex verifies online purchases against your billing address. A stale one can cause declines, so update before your next big order.

Menus change, so confirm on American Express’s site.

Worth knowing for credit cards accounts

  • Card issuers verify your identity against your billing address. Online checkout can start failing after a move if it goes stale.
  • Replacement cards mailed to an old address are a common identity-theft vector.
