Booking through Amex Travel can offer several advantages, although the specific benefits may vary depending on your American Express card. Here are some potential advantages:
- Membership Rewards Points®: You can earn rewards points for travel purchases made through American Express Travel®, as well as redeem them for flights, hotel stays and car rentals, to name a few. You can even transfer your points to airline partners.
- Special Offers: American Express may provide exclusive deals for cardholders who book through Amex Travel. This can include better prices on hotels, flights, and other travel-related expenses. Cardholders may also take advantage of the “Insider Fares” program, which can offer better deals when using points to pay for your travel.
- Build Your Own Insurance: You can safeguard your journey from unforeseen circumstances by tailoring your own insurance coverage or selecting from pre-designed packages.
- Fine Hotels + Resorts® Program: American Express offers a program called Fine Hotels & Resorts, which provides additional perks and benefits when you book certain luxury hotels through Amex Travel. These perks include complimentary breakfast and late check-out, among others.
- International Airline Program: You can enjoy reduced fares for International First, Business, and Premium Economy seats through the International Airline Program when booking via American Express Travel®.
It’s important to remember that some of these benefits may not be available to all Amex cards. You can visit American Express online to learn more about which Amex Travel benefits are available to your card.
