What is American Express travel in the USA?

27 Apr 2023

American Express cardholders can earn more Membership Rewards points by booking trips through Amex Travel. However, if you don't have an American Express credit card, there is no significant advantage to using Amex Travel over other third-party booking services.

Amex Travel is an online travel booking portal similar to Expedia, Kayak, and Orbitz in the USA. It offers the option to book a complete trip or individual components such as flights, hotels, rental cars, or cruises. Customers can also book via phone to speak with a customer service representative.

Although there may be some small fees for flights booked through the portal, the benefits can outweigh the costs, especially for American Express Platinum Card® holders, who have these fees waived.

The Amex Travel umbrella includes two sub-categories: the Hotel Collection and Fine Hotels and Resorts.

The outstanding customer service is the primary reason to book with American Express Travel. If you have any issues during your trip (such as delays, cancellations, or overbooking), you can call a live travel agent who will work with you to find a solution.
