Enjoy all the benefits, convinience and security of an American Express Credit Card or Charge Card - with travel rewards along the way.
A Travel Rewards Card is a type of Credit Card or Charge Card that’s ideal for travelling. You can use it to book flights and hotel stays when planning to go on holiday, and it's accepted around the world.
American Express Travel Rewards Cards come with additional perks. These include airport lounge access and points programmes for discounts.
American Express Travel Rewards Cards work much like normal Credit Cards or Charge Cards. Use your Card for everyday purchases to start collecting rewards points, then redeem these for travel treats – from booking hotels and car hire to other exciting experiences.
If your Card earns Membership Rewards points, you can transfer these to one of our partner loyalty programmes and spend them there.
Here’s how an American Express Travel Rewards Card could enhance your next trip:
Travel with points
American Express Travel Online
Travel protection
Some of our Travel Rewards Cards offer Travel Accident and Travel Inconvenience insurance, keeping you covered for international or domestic travel when you book and pay for your trip with the eligible Card.
Subject to enrolment, learn more here.
Luxurious stays
Turning back the crisp white sheets in a great hotel is one of the joys of travelling.
Another is knowing you’ve paid with points.
American Express Travel Online can help you find the perfect place to rest your head. Or, if you prefer, you can transfer your American Express Membership Rewards points to one of our three hotel partners to book directly.
Airport lounge access
The American Express® Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card lets you escape the airport crowds with two complimentary lounge visits per year.
After something more comprehensive? The Platinum Card® offers unlimited complimentary access to over 1,200 lounges worldwide for you and a guest, including Priority Pass™ lounges.

complimentary bottle of wine or an appetiser. So wherever you are in the world,
you can find great places to eat and earn Membership Rewards points while you
