The Offer
- American Express is offering Platinum cardholders travel discounts on flights booked from September 10 – December 31, 2020. For travel September 1 through March 31, 2021. Maximum discount seems to be 75%.
The Fine Print
- Discounts are applied to the base airfare.
- Tickets are subject to applicable government-imposed taxes/fees and airline-imposed fees; if baggage, seat-selection or similar items were not included with the tickets, additional fees may apply.
- Airline fare rules and restrictions and ticket terms and conditions apply and are subject to change at the discretion of the airline. Tickets are non-refundable unless otherwise indicated.
- Tickets are non-transferable.
- Applicable fares will display in search results on amextravel.com only if the eligible Card Member is logged into his/her account. Changes to tickets (if permitted) may incur an airline-imposed change fee, any difference in fare and (if calling to make a change) a $39 American Express ticket fee.
- Cancellations of tickets (if permitted) may incur an airline-imposed cancellation fee and (if calling to make a cancellation) a $39 American Express ticket fee.
- Special offer is valid for eligible bookings from September 10, 2020 through December 31, 2020 for travel from September 10, 2020 through March 31, 2021.
Our Verdict
You also earn 5x points on these purchases. Business Platinum cardholders can also get 35% points back if using points to book the flights. Unfortunately the discount is only on selected routes and most routes won’t show any discount.
