David Jones: Activate an American Express Store Card

  • Customers can enter card information to begin
  • The portal provides a Frequently Asked Questions list
  • Cardholders can contact David Jones customer relations

While it may be cool to look at, a retail card doesn’t do a shopper much good until it’s been activating.  Perhaps that’s why many cards now offer an easy online activation process.  For example, those who have picked up a David Jones American Express card can now complete this process at the online account activation page (www.davidjones.com.au/activate).  In order to begin, it will first be necessary for the customer to enter the 4 digit ID shown on the FRONT of the card (unlike the other 3 major credit cards, American Express places the number on the front).  Once the cardholder enters the ID, they can proceed with entering their 15 digit card number.   Finally, if all the information looks correct the customer can click the Confirm button to continue with the activation process.
