American Express Incentive Services Introduces The ExpeditionsSM Card ST. LOUIS, September 25, 2007 – American Express Incentive Services (AEIS), a business-to-business prepaid industry card leader, recently introduced its ExpeditionsSM Card, which has been specifically tailored for individual travel incentives.
The Expeditions Card delivers what reward earners in the $28 billion travel industry want most – choice1. The Expeditions Card is an incentive solution that provides both choice and simplicity by grouping together a broad range of travel options on a single prepaid card.
This card leverages DirectSpendSM, a merchant acceptance process so innovative it's patented*, to direct cardholder spend to over 60 popular and specialty travel-related merchants for airline tickets, cruise lines, car rentals, hotels, resorts, vacation packages and more. These extensive choices ensure that travel experiences are memorable and uniquely personal by encouraging recipients to create their own expedition.
"The reward of travel has always been a top motivator, and we created the Expeditions Card so recipients can enjoy their time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life," said Darryl Hutson, AEIS CEO. "Choice is also critical when it comes to travel. Everyone defines their expedition differently and travel destinations are as unique as travelers themselves. We grouped together the hottest merchants including TravelocityAwards, Avis Rent A Car®, Royal Caribbean® International, Marriott® and Disney Cruise Line® to provide the luxury of optimal choice."
The Expeditions Card is an ideal choice to supplement group travel or replace traditional travel reward vehicles including single merchant rewards. Clients can also maximize the promotional impact of their incentive program by highlighting company branding or fully customizing the Card face.
The Expedition Card is available in the United States and Canada, protected by AEIS' lost and stolen replacement program and supported by 24/7 customer service. For more information on AEIS, its cards, or the DirectSpend process, please call
