American Express has released an updated user interface on its website. The new dashboard looks slick and refreshing — though it may take some time for Amex cardholders to get used to.

The new site seems to have the same general layout as the old version. Your Membership Rewards balance appears in the same spot on the right side of the page, and your balance and payment due date appear in the same position on the left and center of the page, respectively.
