Strange interest charge after Amex payment

[Superhappykid]

I have done the app thing for about 5 years - this is the first issue I can think of

O really? So you just opt for "Pay on due date" every time for the last 5 years? Hmm then perhaps I should just give it another shot. Maybe it was a freak accident.

Yes - I think freak accident - I see that payment options are today/statement or another date - You can manually change to a couple of days prior. To be honest I juggle too many cards and going forward I just will pay the day statement comes out and know its paid. I do that with most bills now as I know I will forget if I "need to come back to it"

Thanks! I'll take a closer look at the options.

Yes fair enough, if you have a lot on your plate I wholeheartedly agree that you should just do what is necessary to get things ticked off.

Mine gets paid by direct debit on the due date and I've never had any issues irrespective of the amount.

The one drama i did have recently was that I had managed to spend over my limit, Amex seems to let this happen and only warned me they would start rejecting payments once I was about $1k over. As I was still about 2 weeks away from the auto-payment, I decided to make an early manual payment for some of the balance, whilst I received an receipt immediately, the early payment wasn't reflected on my balance for just over 3 days.
