How to Convert Amex Statements to Excel — Step by Step
Can You Export Amex Statement to Excel?
Yes — you can export your Amex statement to Excel using a PDF converter. American Express does not offer a direct Excel download, but you can convert any Amex PDF statement to a clean Excel file in seconds using CreditCardToExcel. Amex also provides a built-in CSV export for recent transactions, but it only covers the last 90 days and excludes fees and interest.
American Express does offer a limited CSV download for recent transactions — but it only covers the last 90 days and doesn't include all the detail you get from an official statement. For historical records, tax documentation, or a complete accounting of your charges, the PDF statement is the only option.
Here's how to convert any Amex PDF statement to a clean Excel spreadsheet. (For a full overview of all methods and issuers, see our complete credit card statement to Excel guide.)
What Amex Gives You (and What's Missing)
When you log into your American Express account, you can download recent activity as CSV, QFX, or OFX. This is useful for quick imports, but has limitations:
- Only covers the last 90 days — no access to older transactions
- Missing statement-level details like interest charges, fees, and rewards
- Not the official record — PDF statements are the authoritative document for tax and legal purposes
If you need a spreadsheet from a specific billing period or from more than 3 months ago, you'll need to convert the PDF.

What About Supplementary Card Holders?
Amex statements for accounts with supplementary card members group transactions by card holder. Our converter extracts all transactions from all card members into a single spreadsheet, preserving the merchant details and amounts for each charge.
Why Not Just Use Amex's CSV Export?
It depends on what you need:
| Feature | Amex CSV Export | CreditCardToExcel |
|---|---|---|
| Recent transactions (90 days) | Yes (via PDF) | |
| Historical statements | ||
| Auto-categorization | ||
| Interest and fees included | ||
| Official statement record | Yes (from PDF) |
If you just need last month's transactions in a quick spreadsheet, Amex's built-in export works fine. But for anything beyond that — especially historical records, complete statement data, or auto-categorized transactions — converting the PDF is the way to go.
