Where to find the Delta Amex login page
The Delta Amex login page is hosted on American Express's website, not on Delta Air Lines' site. Go to americanexpress.com and look for the login box in the upper right corner of the homepage. Enter your username or the email address tied to your account, then your password.
If you have a Delta SkyMiles American Express card — whether it's the Blue, Gold, Platinum, or Reserve version — you log in through the same American Express portal as any other Amex cardholder. Your account will show your card details, rewards balance, and transaction history all in one place.
You can also read the American Express mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and log in there using the same username and password. Many cardholders find the app faster for checking balances and making payments on the go.
Key Takeaways
- Log in at americanexpress.com using your username or email address and password — this is the official portal for all Amex cards, including Delta versions.
- Your Delta SkyMiles rewards balance and transaction history appear in your Amex account dashboard once you log in.
- The American Express mobile app uses the same login credentials and lets you check your account from your phone.
- If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it by email or phone verification.
What you can do once you're logged in
After logging in, you can view your current card balance, recent transactions, and available credit. You can also see your Delta SkyMiles balance — the rewards points you've earned through purchases and bonuses — displayed prominently on your dashboard.
From your account, you can make a payment toward your balance, set up automatic monthly payments, update your contact information, and read statements. If you have multiple Amex cards, you can switch between them using the card selector menu.
You can also manage your account settings, such as notification preferences, authorized users, and security options. Some cardholders use the login portal to track spending by category, which can help with budgeting.
Resetting your password if you're locked out
If you don't remember your password, click the "Forgot Password" link on the americanexpress.com login page. American Express will ask you to verify your identity using either your email address or phone number.
Once you verify, you'll receive a link or code to create a new password. The reset link typically works for a limited time, so complete the process soon after requesting it. Make sure your new password is at least eight characters long and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols for security.
If you have trouble verifying your identity or don't receive the reset email, you can call American Express customer service at the number on the back of your card. A representative can help you regain access to your account.
Two-factor authentication and account security
American Express offers two-factor authentication as an optional security feature. When enabled, logging in requires both your password and a code sent to your phone or email. This adds a layer of protection if someone else obtains your password.
You can turn on two-factor authentication in your account settings under "Security." American Express will ask you to choose whether to receive codes by text message or email, and you can change this preference anytime.
Even without two-factor authentication turned on, Amex monitors your account for unusual activity and may ask you to verify your identity if suspicious charges appear or if you log in from a new device.
Logging in from a new device or browser
The first time you log in from a new device or web browser, American Express may ask you to verify your identity as a security step. This might involve entering a code sent to your phone or email, or answering security questions you set up when you opened the account.
After you verify, the system will remember that device for future logins, so you won't have to verify every single time. If you use a shared computer, you can choose not to save the device, which means you'll verify again the next time you log in from that location.
If you're logging in from outside the United States, American Express may also ask for extra verification due to the different location. This is a standard fraud-prevention measure and usually takes just a few minutes to complete.
Troubleshooting common login problems
If you see an error message saying your username or password is incorrect, double-check that you're typing them correctly. Passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters matter. Also make sure you're not accidentally using your card number instead of your username.
If your account is temporarily locked after too many failed login attempts, wait 24 hours before trying again. This is a security feature to prevent unauthorized access. You can also call American Express to unlock your account sooner if needed.
If the website itself seems down or won't load, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then refresh the page. You can also try logging in through the mobile app or a different web browser. If the problem persists, American Express's website status page or customer service line can tell you whether there's a known outage.
Managing multiple cards and accounts
If you have more than one American Express card — such as a personal Delta Amex and a business Amex — you can log into one account and switch between cards using the card selector. However, if your cards are linked to different email addresses or usernames, you'll need to log out and log back in with the other credentials.
Some cardholders prefer to keep separate logins for personal and business cards for accounting purposes. You can set this up during the card process process or by contacting American Express to link or unlink accounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Delta Amex login different from a regular American Express login?
No. All American Express cards, including Delta SkyMiles versions, use the same login portal at americanexpress.com. Your Delta rewards balance appears in your account dashboard alongside your card balance and transaction history.
Can I log into my Delta Amex account on the Delta website?
You cannot log into your card account on Delta's website. However, you can log into your SkyMiles frequent flyer account on delta.com to see your miles balance and book flights. Your card rewards and your airline miles are separate accounts, though purchases on your Delta Amex card automatically add miles to your SkyMiles account.
What should I do if I never received a password when I first got my card?
American Express doesn't mail passwords. When you first open an account, you create your own password during the online setup process. If you didn't complete that step, use the "Forgot Password" link to create one now.
Can I change my username after I've created an account?
You can change your email address in your account settings, which is what most people use as their login username. Go to "Account Settings" or "Profile" after logging in to update your email. American Express will send a confirmation to your new email address.
Is it safe to save my password in my browser?
Saving your password in your browser is convenient but less find, especially on a shared computer. If you're the only user of your device, it's generally safe. On a shared computer, don't save your password — instead, use the "Forgot Password" option each time or enable two-factor authentication for extra protection.
