In the Facebook group “Travel free (or almost free…!) with your points & miles – milesopedia”,<\/a> a question often comes up: how can you contact the credit card issuer online to avoid long waits on the phone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact a credit card issuer online through secure messaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

You may need to contact your credit card issuer for any number of reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Tell them you’re going abroad (even if it is less and less useful)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Dispute a transaction on your account<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Claim for fees charged (interest, membership fees, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Request a points adjustment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cancelling your card<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Some issuers clearly display their online messaging feature… for others, it’s more complex! As for the “cancellation” aspect, this will depend on your relationship with the issuer: the issuer may ask you to call them (sometimes this means that the bank will be ready to make you a retention offer) or they may accede to your request by cancelling your card on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We used three issuers as examples: American Express, RBC and TD. The solutions are the same for the other issuers, almost all of which can be contacted online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Contact American Express online<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Go to your American Express online account. Click on “Contact Us<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
    \"contact<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

    Then hover onthe Contact Us<\/strong> option and click on “Send us an email<\/strong>“:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
    \"contact<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
