AmEx Makes Travel Rewards Programs Even More Beneficial
US residents, owning an American Express Gold Card now can get even more benefits from the card's rewards program at no additional cost. American Express has recently upgraded their Gold Card Destinations program. The company wants to offer more travel rewards to its customers. What would you say about a $75 credit on food and beverage just for booking an accommodation for 2 or more consecutive nights at one of the participating hotels?
Though autumn will soon change the vacation season and the travel fever will be over, AmEx decided to extend the summer pleasure for its clients. American Express knows how to please their customers, especially when it comes to travel rewards.
American Express is a world-wide recognized, appreciated and respected brand. The company is known not just for providing various financial services to individuals and businesses. AmEx makes it possible for their clients to book flights, vacation packages, cruises, hotels and even last-minute deals on their web site. The company has over 2,200 travel service offices around the globe, so the customers get first-class services associated with travelling in any corner of the world.
No wonder that hotel rewards card deals by American Express are always among the top credit card deals for travelers. Though what most travelers look at when going on a trip is airfare, hotel accommodation costs can eat up a pretty good deal of a travel budget. American Express specializes in hotel rewards programs and helps customers save money on hotel expenses.
Every hotel rewards card from AmEx is worth traveler's attention. 0% intro APR cards, no annual fee cards, reasonable ongoing interest rate and incredibly profitable and alluring travel related rewards - you can find all these features in one of American Express credit cards. By the way, this kind of combination is rather rare for travel rewards cards.
But even their competitive strength on the credit card market does not leave them satisfied with what has already been achieved. They develop new even more favorable deals and programs to grant you more bonuses, freebies, make your travel experiences safe and even more unforgettable and become the leader in providing credit cards for travel.
The new enhanced Gold Card Destinations program will enable AmEx Gold Card owners save money on dining at participating Starwood hotels in 95 countries. The four eligible Starwood brands are Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, Le Meridien Hotels and Resorts, Westin Hotels and resorts and W Hotels. The $75 food and beverage credit you will be provided with when booking an accommodation in one of the participating hotel chains, will give a chance to enjoy exclusive cuisine at Starwood Hotels free of charge.
Alongside with other alluring benefits, that the Gold Card Destinations program offers you, the new feature will become a great addition to the credit travel rewards you can get.
And this is what hides behind "other alluring benefits". Access to amenities of up to $150 on nearly every trip, vacation package or value-added cruise from select AmEx Gold Tour and Gold Cruise partners, a $100 gift check from AmEx Vacations, 2 tickets to Cher's live performance, a two nights' stay at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and even more numerous perks and bonuses.

The Federal Reserve recently proposed to take measures in order to eliminate unfair credit card practices performed by credit card companies and banks.
