EXPORT GUIDE
How to export American Express transactions to CSV
A CSV is a spreadsheet file of your transactions. Here’s exactly where to click at American Express. Then Statement Scout finds every subscription in it, right in your browser. No bank login, no account.
American Express
- 1 Sign in at americanexpress.com on a computer.
- 2 Go to “Statements & Activity”.
- 3 Choose a statement period, or set a custom date range.
- 4 Click “Download” and choose CSV.
- 5 Save the file.
Amex shows up to about two years of transactions online.
Last checked November 2026. Bank websites change from time to time. If a button has moved, look for “Download” or “Export” near your list of transactions.
Good to know
- Each card downloads separately.
- Choose CSV, not the Quicken or QuickBooks options.
Got your file? You’re ready.
Drop it into Statement Scout. It’s read on your device and never uploaded.
Find My SubscriptionsTroubleshooting
I only see the PDF statement.
Use the Download button on Statements & Activity, not the PDF statement link.
Can I get more than one statement at a time?
Yes. Set a custom date range first, then download that view as CSV.
It says it found nothing.
Your file probably covers too little time. A subscription needs to show up at least twice to be spotted, so download 3 months or more and try again.
It says the file isn’t a statement.
Make sure you downloaded the spreadsheet (CSV) version, not a PDF statement or a Quicken/QuickBooks file. If you opened the file in Excel and saved it again, download a fresh copy from your bank.
