American Express has just launched Members Know, a unique online travel community exclusively for American Express Cardmembers to share travel insights from their personal travel experiences and knowledge about everything from family-friendly resorts in Bali to the best Mediterranean restaurants in Chicago. American Express Cardmembers – who are more than 90% more likely to travel frequently and abroad than those who are not Cardmembers (according to a Mediamark Research study, 2007) – can not only guide each other with meaningful travel advice, but also correspond with editors from Travel + Leisure magazine, which is owned by American Express Publishing. These editors will introduce new topics for discussion about the latest travel trends and hidden gems and also respond to Cardmember questions with expert advice.
Que? I’ve had an Amex card for more than 15 years and this is the first I’ve heard of this. They’re probably so busy trying to flog me other stuff that they forgot to promote this.
I asked my husband (now a joint account holder) if he knew what Amex Members Know is. He looked mystified and replied, “No. I’ve no idea.”
I don’t ‘get’ it. Why bother if they’re not going to tell their card holders about it?
