Amex Pay Over Time / Plan-It Bridge

Convert charge-card balances to fixed low-APR installments — no hard pull.

Overview

Amex Pay Over Time and Plan-It let you split eligible charges into 3–24 month fixed monthly plans at a flat fee (often 6–10% APR-equivalent) — cheaper than merchant financing or short-term MCA. No hard credit inquiry, no separate application. Useful for deal-specific bridge capital (equipment, marketing pushes, one-off inventory buys) without altering your credit-line strategy.
