Like other credit cards, American Express cards have a closing date, when the billing cycle ends, and a statement due date, when the minimum payment for that billing cycle is due. American Express sets your closing date about 30 days from when you open your account, and each subsequent closing date about 30 days from the last closing date. You can't usually change your close date, but American Express may allow you to change your due date.
