Amex Platinum-Canadian Version

[gophercruiser]

In early 2015 I asked and received information on the above but only from our American friends. Has any Canadian booked a HAL cruise in 2015 with your Amex Plat and were you able to book with your own travel agent or did you go through Amex Plat Travel to receive the perks? Thanks.

When I compared Amex Travel Agent hotel rates to Expedia.... Expedia offered me the better deal.

In the United States, the travel agent has to enroll and pay a fee to American Express to offer the American Express Platinum Advantages.

The TA fee is annual and cover all their AmEx customers. They don't have to pay a fee for each one. It is not very large and most good TA's should be eligible to book Am Ex Plat guests and get the benefits.

Can't be done in Canada--neither of the travel agents that I have used have been able to offer Amex perks.

 

They are not sufficiently valuable to cause me to move my business over to Amex travel. They get my air business, but the cruise bookings stay with the agents I have a relationship with.
