I feel obligated to mention, that although I was happy with my AMEX card while I had it... When I lost some physical copies of my statements that I required for tax purposes, I called up AMEX and asked them to send me copies.

They did so, at the cost of $10 per month. I paid $120 for them to print out about 40 sheets of paper and mail them to me snail mail.

I did the same with my Visa that I had at the same time, and they only charged me $2 per month. Still abhorrently expensive for paper transcripts imho, but 5x cheaper than AMEX on that respect.

What were you doing such that printing out statement pdfs wasn't sufficient? Just curious.
That wasn't an option for me a few years ago when I tried. I'm not sure if their arbitrary cutoff date (~18 months?) had passed or if it simply wasn't available back then.

I download all copies of my statements every year now though, that's for sure!
