Be a Merchant Partner
American Express Incentive Services periodically adds new merchants to our DirectSpendSM program. Such partners must:
-
Provide a rewarding and memorable experience for cardholders
-
Fill a category gap in our current redemption options
-
Represent a "niche" category and have stand-alone, national brand presence. An example would be a merchant who can draw reward earners as a "destination" retailer (i.e., Macy's)
-
Have broad geographical coverage - physical locations and an e-commerce website
-
Convey a "trophy value" message to reward earners, focused on the intrinsic value of their products and services
-
Identify with quality products, be well respected in the industry and adhere to high customer service standards
-
Realize the value of incremental sales opportunities and be willing to pay the prevailing commission fee
-
Support and enhance the appropriate balance of existing merchant partners and their products/services
-
Preferably not franchised; if franchise locations exist, ALL must accept American Express® Cards and ALL must participate in the program
-
Have the ability to process invoices through a central billing system
-
Adhere to a standard operational processing infrastructure
-
Be approved from a financial risk perspective
-
Be in good standing as a merchant with American Express Establishment Services
