How to Convert American Express Statement to CSV & Excel (2026)

American Express provides PDF statements for all their cards — Platinum, Gold, Blue Cash, and business cards — but exporting that data to a spreadsheet requires a conversion step. Here's how to get your Amex transactions into CSV or Excel format.

How to Download Your Amex Statement PDF

1. Log in to AmericanExpress.com or the Amex app.
2. Go to Statements & Activity from the account menu.
3. Select Statements tab.
4. Choose the billing period you need and click to view/download the PDF.

Amex typically keeps 6+ years of statements available for download online.

Amex's Built-in Download Options

American Express does offer a CSV download within their online portal:

1. Go to Statements & Activity → Activity.
2. Set your date range.
3. Click Download and select CSV.

Why you might still prefer PDF conversion:

• Amex's CSV export only includes recent activity, not the complete statement
• The built-in export uses different column names and formatting than you might expect
• PDF conversion captures the exact data as it appears on your official statement
• Historical statements beyond the activity window are only available as PDFs

What Data Gets Extracted?

• Transaction dates — Date of charge and posting date
• Descriptions — Merchant names and locations
• Amounts — Charges, payments, credits, and fees
• Card member information — If your statement includes supplementary card transactions
