Why pay a charge now when it can be paid later? Of course the obvious answer to this question would be INTEREST. However, cardholders who don’t mind paying a little extra for the comfort of knowing they have more time to pay a charge may have found the wiggle room they need with the American Express Select and Pay Later feature. The feature can be enabled online after logging into an American Express account with a User ID and password. Those who haven’t the slightest idea what their User ID or password actually is can begin the account recovery process by clicking the Forgot User ID or Password? link and entering the 15 digit card number and 4 digit card ID (sample image provided showing exactly where the card ID can be found on the FRONT of an American Express card). Those who do not yet have an online account will need to create one prior to enabling the American Express Select and Pay Later feature.
