Is there a good way to get alerted automatically for the next one? I don't often visit the Community forums.

So people of the BOS DO, here's a challenge...
I am traveling right now and I wanted to pay my amex bill online. First w the app and then on the site itself, which I can get from my iPhone but it is a bit more mobily in some ways.
Before my trip I went in to add a new bank to my amex acct for a card I knew I wanted to pay later on. Not a huge deal but hey when you are on vaca you have moments of purely free time so I figured I may as well try just the same.
I Go to pay card when there is a balance but statement has not yet come, and I have been cycling it as well.
It wont let you pay because it says ammt exceeds $0.00 due
So I select a different and already used, long since listed bank acct in my profile and It will now let you pay from it.
What is that? and how long must you wait for the new bank to have such status if thats where your money is?
I could move funds later between banks if necessary, but I want to pay from new bank instead so how can you force it?
I have not been able to get the chat feature to come up whilst on the amex site on my phone.
Anyone ever run into this and know a solution? See ya'll on the 24th!

It's becoming more and more believable. 
Moments like this, make me realize the simplicity of paying my AMEX-NL bill. Just do a bank transfer (wire) to AMEX with the account # as a reference. Only bad thing, is that payments take 48-72 hours to post. But, it's the only option; so you plan for it. (if necessary, you can call AMEX and they can look for the payment and note your account; perhaps, if you had a very high balance/exposure issue)
All you need, is to be armed with the AMEX IBAN number for payment processing :
IBAN for Royal Bank of Scotland is: NL13RBOS0636065073
Swift (BIC) code for Royal Bank of Scotland is: RBOSNL2A
Of course, I do not suggest you try this with a US based account. and, well, these transfers (wires) are FREE from Dutch bank accounts. The joys of living in a society with NO PAPER CHECKS.

My wife, being Dutch, will agree with you.
She would also add something like,
Why are you even bothering with this when on vacation. You should have eithet paid it when home or do so when you get back.
We cannot spend time calling and trying to find some hotel business center...
Etc etc
***
That said, I guess either way I havent got my answer on how the newly added bank thing works or how long its status holds up

All wives are always correct. But, more so, one must make sure they believe they are correct. Since, women who believe they are right; are very happy women.

Hi Mike, sorry, just checked my flight schedule and I depart for IAD at 7:30p on the 24th. Don't think I can make it. Will keep an eye out for the next one.
Is there a good way to get alerted automatically for the next one? I don't often visit the Community forums.

For those of you who don't know baccarat_king, here's an analogy:
bac_king is to gaming loyalty programs as Marathon Man is to frequent flyer programs.
