American Express Vacations Benefits
Want more out of your next vacation?

American Express Vacations offers many benefits to enhance your vacation and help ensure your trip is a memorable one.

Before you go

"Cancel for Any Reason" Travel Protection Plan

Unlike many other travel insurance plans that provide reimbursement only for cancellations due to medical reasons, our plan provides you with the ultimate in flexibility. After enrolling, the plan provides a full refund if you need to cancel your trip for any reason... right up to the departure time of your flight! Our "Cancel For Any Reason" plan means exactly what it states. No hassles, no worries - a plan that we believe is one of the best in the industry! The plan also provides travelers with insurance protection while they travel. Plan is underwritten by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA. (Policy#3041-9500360)

It’s Easy Passport Services 1

American Express Vacations has joined with an innovative, nationally respected U.S. passport expediting service that can provide you with last minute passports, travel visas, birth certificates or other vital documents up to one day before departure. All American Express Vacations clients receive an exclusive offer of 10% off processing fees.

Luggage Forward - Door-to-Door Luggage Delivery 2

Spend less time in the airport during your vacation and you can avoid long check-in lines, lost luggage, baggage claim delays and excess baggage fees by having your bags picked up from your home and delivered to your hotel for you. All American Express Vacations clients receive an exclusive offer of 10% off all orders with Luggage Forward for door-to-door delivery of luggage, sports equipment, baby strollers and all kinds of bulky equipment or gear, to any destination that is purchased through us.
