Retail Credit Cards & Credit Cards with Hotel Rewards

 

Enjoy all the benefits, convenience, and security of an American Express® Credit Card with the bonus of accumulating hotel and retail rewards on your everyday spending.

Why choose an American Express Hotel or Retail Card?

 

With an American Express Hotel and Retail Rewards Card, you enjoy the many advantages of an American Express Credit Card. But, on top of that, you also accumulate retail rewards or loyalty points, which can be redeemed at a variety of stores.

 

Apply for complimentary Supplementary Cards for family and loved ones, and earn even more points each time they spend.

 

You can redeem accumulated points for cash to spend in stores, or put them towards a voucher for a family day out, a special experience, or an overnight stay at some of the world's best hotels. These are just a few ideas – there are many more options.

 

What's more, every Cardmember enjoys access to  American Express Experiences®. The American Express Invites programme reserves tickets to some of the shows in town, exclusively for our Cardmembers. Whether your passion is music, film, or theatre, we can get you closer to the action.
