New digital tools from American Express, including the Amex Travel App, Amex Passport, and upgraded Centurion Lounge features, simplify travel, personalise recommendations, and commemorate journeys for Card Members.
American Express is making the travel experience easier, smarter, and more personalised with the launch of new digital tools designed to elevate every stage of the travel journey for Card Members.
As the latest innovations in American Express’ long history of high-touch premium travel experiences, these new tools can help make unforgettable travel even more accessible while meeting Card Members’ evolving travel needs and preferences.
“Travellers want a simpler way to plan and book trips – all in one place – and the new Amex Travel App delivers just that,” said Audrey Hendley, President of American Express Travel.
“For over a century, Amex has been a trusted travel partner, and now we’re putting all the elements of creating unforgettable travel experiences – from discovering inspired destinations, to booking and trip management – directly into our Card Members’ hands.”

Amex Travel App
A recent Amex survey found that 81% of respondents wish there was an all-in-one app that paired booking capabilities with travel inspiration. It is designed as the ultimate travel companion and will be available to iOS users starting September 18 and to Android users a few weeks thereafter.
This innovative booking app will empower Card Members to unlock unforgettable journeys, seamlessly blending Amex’s curated travel insights, a portfolio of premium offerings, and high-value benefits.
Features include:
Destination inspiration: The survey found that 52% of respondents feel overwhelmed by choices when booking a trip. Themed guides and curated travel content within the app make it easier to discover the perfect getaway.
Smart planning tools: 55% of respondents typically visit at least three websites to book travel options for their trip (flight, hotel, transportation). Card Members can now organise trip details in one place, without juggling multiple websites.
Seamless booking: 56% of Millennial and Gen Z respondents spend at least 4 hours planning trips. The app allows Card Members to more efficiently book flights, hotels, and car rentals.

As we continue to enhance the app, travellers can also expect personalised hotel recommendations, detailed overviews of their travel and Card benefits, additional information about their destination when they’re on a trip, as well as ongoing improvements to deliver a truly premium digital experience.
Amex Passport
Amex Passport enables US Consumer Card Members to digitally commemorate their past travels and inspire future ones with customisable digital Stamps.
“Part of the magic of travel is reminiscing about past getaways, and commemorative keepsakes are a powerful way for travellers to relive their favourite trips,” said Luke Gebb, Executive Vice President at Amex Digital Labs.
“As physical passport stamps continue to disappear, Amex Passport creates an opportunity for Card Members to celebrate their travels.”

Eligible Card Members who enrol in Amex Passport can earn beautifully designed digital Stamps that visually represent the countries or regions they’ve visited each time they transact internationally.
This feature resonates strongly with travellers, as 73% of respondents to a recent Amex survey stated they want more ways to commemorate past trips digitally, and more than half (56%) miss receiving a passport stamp.
Stamps can be shared on social media and sent to friends and family through text. Stamps can also be customised with highlights from each trip—like a standout meal, a favourite activity, or a special attraction.
Each Stamp is a unique token stored on a public blockchain—preserving Card Members’ travel history as a digital collectable, making their travel moments truly unforgettable.
