FAQs

Why do I need to go through this process?

This registration process is to confirm that you are the owner of the card that you are enrolling in Extend.

 

What should I do if I don’t receive a verification email from American Express?

Please note that the email can take up to 10 minutes to arrive. If you still don’t receive an email, there may be a few reasons:

1. You may not be the primary Card Member. Reach out to the primary Card Member and ask them to complete the verification process. 
2. You are the primary Card Member, but you may have a different email address on file with American Express. Confirm that you are checking the email inbox associated with your online American Express account.
3. You are the primary Card Member, but you do not have an online account with American Express. If so, create an online account at www.americanexpress.com/login. Note that this scenario may apply to you if you hold an Amex Corporate Card and have an account with @Work, which is a different platform

 

What happens if I received a verification email from American Express, but I cannot log in to my account after selecting the link in the email?

Try these troubleshooting steps first: 

1. Make sure you are logging in with the email address from which you received the American Express verification email. 
2. Confirm you are using the password associated with your online American Express account. If you forgot your password, please reset your password here. 

If you are still having trouble logging in, call the number on the back of your American Express card for more assistance.

How to identify your Card type

1. If you have a Corporate Card or you applied for your company’s original credit line, you are likely a primary Card Member. Otherwise you are likely a supplementary Card Member.
2. To confirm your card type if you have a Business Card, view the last three digits of your card number. If there are two “zeros” and then a number, you are the primary Card Member. If not, you are a supplementary Card Member.
3. If you are a supplementary Card Member, you will need to ask the primary Card Member to complete card verification on your behalf.
