American Express®

This does not mean, however, that there is an unlimited spending facility on the Card. Each transaction is approved based on the expense level and credit history of all of your Accounts established with us, our subsidiaries and affiliates and/or licensees, as well as on your credit history with other financial institutions and your personal resources and income known by us.

Provided your Account is settled in full and on time each month, you can usually spend as much as you have shown us you can afford. Proof of resources and security may be required. We reserve the right to apply temporary spending limits in accordance with the Cardmember Agreement.^{Return to reference}
