There are times when we are young and decide to come up with what we think of at the moment as a cool and unique user name for our accounts but unfortunately down the line it can come back to bite us in the butt. You may have also made an error in the spelling of your user name without realizing it and have been wanting to change it for a while without knowing how. Depending on where and what you created your user name and account for, there are certain steps that you will have to follow in order to successfully change that user name to something more suitable for you.

If you have made the mistake of choosing a user name for your American Express card that you do not like you don't have to worry because there is a solution for you. While it does require some extra steps to be taken there is a way for you to change your American express user name with ease.

Changing Your American Express User Name Online


The first step that you have to take in order to change your American Express user name is cancel the account to the one you are looking to change. This is required because the system will not allow you to edit a user name on an account that has already been created. You will have to log in to your account online first and then proceed to remove all the cards connected to your account before canceling it out. Once you have completed this step you will then have to go back to American Express home page and create a new account with the user name that you wish to have now and a password that you will easily remember.

After this has been completed you will have to reconnect any cards that you moved from your previous account and want to use. Upon completion of this your account will be set up officially with the user name you desire and ready to be used. If you tend to have further questions or require more assistance you can reach out to American Express customer service line.
