American Express has announced that they are launching a new mobile booking feature that will allow premium cardholders (Platinum & Centurion) to book thousands of restaurants, including Michelin starred restaurants that American Express holds exclusive reservations for. This feature is set to go live in the UK starting at the end of September and into October and will be launched in the US sometime in 2019.
Previously cardholders have been able to make reservations and access these exclusive reservations by calling into the Concierge service offered to cardholders. American Express is adding the option to reserve tables at more restaurants through a partnership with Seven Rooms and Bookatable. When it launches in the UK users will have access to 1,000+ restaurants in London and 2,000+ restaurants across the UK. Top tier restaurants will include: Hakkasan, Nobu, and Chiltern Firehouse.
I really enjoy fine dining on the rare occasion I decide to be reckless with my money and anything that makes booking these top tier restaurants easier is a win in my eyes. Hopefully at some stage I can get a booking at Osteria Francescana.
