American Express Canada offers an Annual Travel Credit for some credit cards:
This travel credit is like a gift every year: you use it to reduce the cost of your booking. For example, your future $300 hotel room will cost $100, after your $200 travel credit has been applied.
Here’s how to use the Annual Travel Credit from these American Express Cards.
The Annual Travel Credit is available immediately when you subscribe to the American Express® Gold Rewards Card, the American Express Platinum Card®, or the Business Platinum Card® from American Express.
This Annual Travel Credit is then added to your account each year, at the time of your annual membership renewal.
You must use this Annual Travel Credit on the American Express Travel website to make your booking:
To use your American Express Annual Travel Credit, you’ll need to visit the American Express online travel agency. Log in to your American Express online account.
Once there, click on Menu / Travel / Book a trip.
This redirects you to the American Express Travel agency. You may need to log in again with your login details. If you’re having trouble and it doesn’t work in French, try in English.
If you have several American Express Cards, you will be asked to select the one you wish to use for your travel booking. Here, for example, I’m using the $100 Annual Travel Credit that comes with the American Express® Gold Rewards Card.
Then, all you have to do is find the trip, hotel, flight or car that suits you best and you can apply your American Express Annual Travel Credit. Here’s an example of a refundable hotel.
Once on the booking page, you will need to scroll down and check the appropriate box to apply your American Express Annual Travel Credit to the amount of your reservation.
The American Express Annual Travel Credit will be credited to your American Express Card account within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Generally, the annual travel credit will appear even before your trip is charged!
You must call the American Express Travel Department at 1-800-611-1100, or contact them by email (OLCO@aexp.com) or reply to the same email address that sent you your reservation confirmation.
You can also open a chat session to discuss it with a customer service representative.
The Annual Travel Credit that comes with some American Express cards is a benefit to be used yearly. This virtually reduces the cost of your annual membership fee!
