If you love to travel, for business or pleasure, an American Express Travel Rewards and Air Miles Card is the perfect travel companion. You can accumulate rewards points faster with every pound you spend on your Credit Card or Charge Card.

Rewards can be exchanged for flights, holidays or hotel bookings or, with some Cards, a combination of all three. Our premium Travel Rewards Cards also offer VIP benefits, like help with your travel arrangements, preferential upgrades on travel and hotel bookings, and discounts with our luxury cruise partners.
You can also enjoy access to exclusive airport lounges, and extra help and financial coverage for travel problems like flight delays, missed connections and delayed luggage.
