    However, 20 October 2017 - which is the relevant date in this context - was a Friday...
    (January 2018 was just a random statement that I looked at, not my first after changing the statement date. I let them collect on their choice of date for a few months before cancelling the DD.)
    Ah,OK. Obviously Amex either explained it to me badly, or I got totally the wrong end of the stick!
  • Looking at my husband's account, full direct debit is taken 2 weeks after statement. I changed my account for minimum direct debit, which is taken about a week before due date and I pay manually the rest. I was quite annoyed with full direct debit payment being taken so early after statement date.

    And you can change the date of statement.
