Congratulations BNT Agents!
 

We are pleased to let you know that is BNT Travel Group now an authorized American Express® Pay with Points agency.

Now your clients can use Membership Rewards® Points for bookings with you.

Book with BNT Agents and use Membership Rewards® points for all or part of a cruise, vacation package, flight or prepaid hotel.

There are no blackout dates or seat restrictions, and you can still earn frequent flyer miles.

 
Pay with Points
  
AMEX Membership Rewards is one of the most successful loyalty programs in the industry. 
You will have access to billions of dollars worth of unredeemed Membership Rewards® points currently sitting in the accounts of American Express Card Members. 

 

Agent's Benefits
 

You, as a participating agent, will have the ability to redeem Membership Rewards® points for your clients' travels, provide exclusive travel offers to holders of select American Express cards, and earn incentives for approved card referrals.  You get to keep your client throughout the entire process, and make all your eligible commissions on points.

In the near future, you will have limited use of the Membership Rewards® branding in your marketing and you will be able to book select Platinum Card® travel benefits. 

 

 

Client's Benefits
 
Your clients will have exclusive access to The Travel Collection by Travel Leaders Group, which entitles them to free amenities and/or savings on bookings with top air, cruise, car, vacation package and tour suppliers. Most of these offers are even combinable with other marketplace offers.

You will also be able to redeem your American Express Card Membership Rewards® points for any eligible prepaid travel purchases.  Not only will you earn your standard supplier commission, but you will also create a new competitive advantage for your agency. Now your client will be able to do everything with their favorite agent…YOU!

And, keep in mind, access to the Travel Collection is complimentary (opt-in) for card members with one of the four select American Express cards.
