What Does It Cost?

You’ll pay $0.99† per $100 of your current month’s outstanding balance** plus applicable taxes.

Here's how it works:
Monthly Premium = Current month’s outstanding balance x $0.99 / $100 (plus applicable taxes)
Since your premium is calculated based on your current monthly outstanding balance, your premium will fluctuate.
For example if you have an outstanding balance of $500:
$500 x $0.99 / $100 = $4.95
Your monthly premium in this case would be $4.95 plus applicable taxes.
Your premium will be conveniently billed to your American Express Credit Card.
