MULTIPLE WAYS TO SAVE
Our Preferred ExtrasSM programs provide access to negotiated rates on air, car and hotel bookings that can stand alone as a turn-key program or be used to supplement your own negotiated rates. Our Webfare Guarantee ensures that your travelers always get the lowest logical fare for each trip, which equates to time savings for them and bottom line savings for your business.

In total, our Preferred ExtrasSM Air Program, Hotel Program and Car Rental Program provide ample opportunities to save. Enjoy discounts on select international and domestic routes. Benefit from terrific unrestricted hotel rates, some discounted up to 15%. All Preferred Extras rates are immediately accessible to our clients online and offline.

A side-by-side comparison study by a leading airline and travel consultancy demonstrated that, in addition to offering greater savings on flights booked online, American Express is up to 7 – 11% lower than online travel agencies when comparing total trip costs, including air, hotel and car rental.

(* American Express contracted OTBG to conduct this study. The study was conducted Feb – March 2008 and analyzed 440 itineraries for 110 top air routes (100 domestic and 10 international). Variables such as advance purchase, trip length, connections, alternate airports and ticket type were tested in proportion to their occurrence in actual travel data.)

Our Webfare guarantee
We are so confident in our ability to provide the lowest fares, we offer our risk-free Webfare Guarantee*. If a traveler finds an available airfare on the Web lower than the airfare we found, we will match that airfare or pay the difference.

* Offer is valid for Small and Mid-sized Business Travel clients only.

(Terms & Conditions: Client must provide flight information that will confirm that a lower Web airfare was available for the same routing (within plus or minus one hour of the departure times on the American Express itinerary) of the lowest airfare offered by American Express. The Web airfare and the American Express fare must be quoted on the same day. Consolidator, soft dollar tickets and auction Web sites such as Priceline and Hotwire are excluded from the guarantee. Client must purchase the airline ticket through American Express to be eligible for the Webfare Guarantee. American Express reserves the right to cancel, modify, or otherwise change this guarantee at any time, with or without notice.)
