American Express 60-Day Billing Error Window Calculator

Don't lose your Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) protection rights. Calculate your exact 60-day deadline to dispute American Express billing errors.

Written notice required within 60 calendar days or you lose FCBA protection!

Why This Matters

Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA)

You have 60 calendar days from the date the error first appeared on your statement to notify American Express in writing. If you miss this window, you lose your strongest legal protections.

Most Cardholders Don't Realize

  • Calling Amex is not enough — you must send written notice
  • The 60-day clock starts from the statement closing date, not transaction date
  • The dispute address is different from the payment address
