If necessary, you can speak with a customer service representative faster by saying the word "none" during the computer-voice prompts asking for your American Eagle account and Social Security numbers. You will be transferred to a live person.

Be aware that as of August 2009, American Eagle charges a $15 service fee for making a telephone payment and that this amount will be deducted from your banking account along with your payment. American Eagle does not mention this fee on its website for billing inquiries and payments. There is no fee to make an online payment.
