How this status checker works
Who's Down Today monitors American Express independently of the company that runs it. We send reachability checks from our primary location every minute and record response time, HTTP errors, and timeouts.
American Express does not publish a verified public incident feed, so this page does not invent an outage from a single failed request. A failed check from one location can be regional, caused by bot protection, or a transient network issue. We prefer "status uncertain" over a false major outage.
This page can show when an issue started, how long it lasted, and the type of error observed. It cannot see internal systems, so it does not claim a private root cause unless the provider publishes one. Read the full methodology.
Frequently asked questions
Is American Express down right now?
- No. No, American Express is not down. Who's Down Today shows American Express as operational based on the latest official signals and independent checks. If you still cannot reach americanexpress.com, the issue may be local to your connection, DNS, VPN, browser, or device.
Is American Express down for everyone or just me?
- Who's Down Today currently shows American Express as operational from our monitoring location, which means americanexpress.com is responding normally to our checks. If you are still having trouble, try another browser, device, or network, and check DNS or VPN settings.
What should I do if americanexpress.com is up but I still cannot access it?
- Try opening americanexpress.com from another browser, device, or network (for example a mobile hotspot). You can also disable a VPN, flush local DNS, restart your router, or check whether your internet provider is having issues. If the site works elsewhere, the problem is likely local rather than a confirmed American Express outage.
How does Who's Down Today check if American Express is down?
- We combine independent HTTP reachability checks with public status information where it exists. American Express does not publish a verified public incident feed, so this page does not invent an outage report from a single failed request. A single failed probe is treated as a possible transient or regional failure, not an automatic global outage. Bot protection, geo restrictions, and HTTP 403 responses are not automatically classified as downtime.
What does a American Express outage mean?
- An outage on this page means recorded incidents or failed checks indicated that American Express was not responding normally. That does not always mean every user was affected. Some outages are regional, some affect only certain features, and some appear as errors or slow responses instead of a full failure.
Can this page tell me the root cause of a American Express outage?
- Not exactly. We can show when an issue started, how long it lasted, the public incident title, and symptoms such as timeouts or slow response times. We do not have access to American Express's internal systems, so we cannot identify a private root cause such as a failed deploy or database incident unless the provider publishes it.
How do I report an issue with American Express?
- Use the report form on this page if American Express looks down for you. Reports are anonymous, rate-limited, and used only as supporting evidence alongside official sources and independent checks.
