There Are Only 3 Amex Friendly Webcam Sites

Update: American Express is no longer processing online payments at cam sites. At this time, you can simply link your Amex card to your PayPal account and use PayPal to purchase credits at cam sites.

There are only three major webcam platforms that accept American Express as a form of payment. Fortunately, these Amex friendly cam sites have some of the lowest-cost cam rates around and don't charge a premium for Amex financed purchases.

In theory, only visitors accessing these sites from within the U.S. are offered the option to pay using Amex. However, there are a few tricks to getting around this. Read on to discover how to circumvent this barrier and pay with Amex from wherever you are in the world.

American Express has (or maybe had) long been considered the least attractive credit card payment method by many businesses as they would have to pay a higher percentage of the sale as a processing fee, compared to other credit cards such as Mastercard, Visa and Discover. But this is changing and Amex recently reduced their charges. If your preferred cheap cam site isn't listed in the above table, chances are that in the near future they may well start accepting American Express, and when they do - we'll added them to this list.

Benefits of Paying with American Express

If you're an Amex aficionado, then you already know the card gives some of the best member benefits and perks around. You can, for example, use your points to get a free subscription to Netflix or Spotify and even transfer the points to your favorite airline or hotel member program, such as Virgin Atlantic and the Hilton chain.

In reality, the money you spend on a cheap live cam session, is actually getting you closer to a free flight, a free streaming subscription and a free night (or several) in a great hotel.

Another option that can significantly increase the amount of time you spend in a 1on1 live cam session is to redeem those Amex reward points for major store/brand and restaurant gift cards such as Macys, Sams Club, Target, Walmart, Uber and even Olive Garden. There's over 100 to choose from. You can either use them at the relevant outlet, or even better - trade them in at a cam site for more tokens or credits.

Flirt4Free, Stripchat and LiveJasmin will all redeem the value of a gift card for site credits or tokens. So, the points you gain on your card from purchases made at Camsoda, Chaturbate or MyFreeCams, can then be turned into gift cards which can be used at other low-cost live video chat platforms.

Easy to Use

If you're using an Amex card at CamSoda, Chaturbate or MyFreeCams, it's as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Click on the tag or box where you buy site tokens or credits.
2. Make sure your preferred payment method is set to Credit Card.
3. Choose the value of the token/credit bundle you want to purchase and simply enter in your card details by following the payment instructions.

How to Use an International American Express Card

If you're accessing any of the webcam platforms from outside the USA, then the option to pay with Amex won't appear. However, there are ways around this. One easy and popular option is to link a PayPal account to your card and purchase tokens/credits to use on some live video chat fun. Not only does this bypass the restrictions, but you get an additional layer of security (and privacy) afforded by PayPal.

Another option is slightly more savvy, and that's to use a free VPN service and set your preferred server location to the US, so the site sees you as accessing it from within the US.

Security and Protection

One of American Express's famed features is it's ultra-attentive security and fraud prevention services. Should anything untoward occur, Amex operates a 24/7 customer support and a dedicated card protection office.

All of the sites feature state-of-the-art security measures ensuring all your details - personal and financial - are protected by multi-layered encryption technology so you can enjoy a cheap private webcam session with peace of mind knowing what's going on between you and your cam model, remains strictly between the two of you.

Conclusion

While American Express isn't a widely accepted credit card at most of the major live cam sites, if you're a holder of the plastic and want to use it, you can easily bypass the no-go payment system by linking your card to a PayPal account, purchasing gift cards with it and trading them in at some other cam sites, or by using a VPN to obscure your location.

All of the sites that accept it are freemium platforms which means you don't even need to use it to enjoy most of the action. All offer free access to gorgeous live chat models who bare it all and love to have an appreciative audience as they entertain in their open chat rooms.
