Google Wallet for Fitbit adds American Express support
With Google Wallet replacing Fitbit Pay in July, the newer service is rolling out support for American Express cards.
As Fitbit owners made the switch to Google Wallet, they noticed a lack of American Express support. This has now been addressed, with Google noting how this is rolling out with version 24.25 of Play services on Android. There are already some reports earlier this month of it going live.

Google Wallet is available on the Fitbit Charge 4, Charge 5, Charge 6, Fitbit Sense, Sense 2, Fitbit Versa 2, Versa 3, Versa 4, and the special editions of Fitbit Charge 3 and Versa. Select the Wallet tile in device settings of the Fitbit app on Android and iOS.
