Bottom line
American Express has said that ‘Member Week’ is coming back between 10 and 14 October 2022 and that during the event it plans to offer cardholders the opportunity to book tickets to select events, make reservations at some hard-to-book restaurants, enjoy special offers from select airlines, and enjoy statement credits for spending at select retailers.
I’ll wait to see what is unveiled on 10 October before I pass comment but I don’t think many readers will be surprised when I say that I’ll be most interested to see what the airlines have in store for us. Let’s hope it’s something good!
