  1. Notify American Express immediately
  2. Work with American Express and auditors to conduct a thorough audit of the incident
  3. Provide any and all information, and follow all instructions provided by American Express with regard to the incident
If you believe that Cardmember information has been compromised, contact your Client Manager or call our Customer Services Team on

and sending it via email to EIRP@aexp.com.

You can avoid additional costs from a data incident:

  2. By ensuring that you are in full compliance with the American Express Data Security Operating Policy
  3. If the data incident was not caused by the wrongful conduct of you or one of your employees or agents
