### 2/5 — Lacks map features

*2026-08-29, version 1.14.0*

I’m always a fan of booking through Amex. The benefits rarely disappoint.  But, a map feature with hotel locations is simply table stakes. I’m stunned this isn’t built into the app.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-08-22, version 1.14.0*

If you don’t have Amex platinum you are behind .this is the future of business travel or personal travel

### 2/5 — Find resorts and hotels program

*2026-08-21, version 1.14.0*

It used to be that the hotel rate would be the same as the rate on the American Express app, but now I’m finding that booking directly with the hotel is considerably less and the perks and credits that you offer through platinum travel. Don’t even come close to the same value of the reduced rate of the room. That is disappointing

### 5/5 — Reliable and Peace of Mind

*2026-08-20, version 1.14.0*

Amex Travel is one of the best tools provided for Amex CC holders. All reservations count with additional and reliable insurance from
American Express which is simply peace of mind and good branding.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-19, version 1.14.0*

Love the quick and easy ways to book everything, compacts all trip planning to one place.

Easy to use web site, very competitive price

Very easy and efficient way to compare prices and pick a vehicle that meets my needs!

### 5/5 — Traveling easy

*2026-08-16, version 1.14.0*

This app makes traveling easy!

### 2/5 — What happened to the “pet-friendly” check box

*2026-08-16, version 1.14.0*

This app is fine. The omission of the pet-friendly check box to filter searches has made hotel searches difficult

### 2/5 — Lacks map features

*2026-08-15, version 1.14.0*

I’m always a fan of booking through Amex. The benefits rarely disappoint.  But, a map feature with hotel locations is simply table stakes.

### 4/5 — So-So

*2026-08-15, version 1.14.0*

It keeps logging me out when I’m actively looking for hotels and cars

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2026-08-14, version 1.14.0*

- select date start and end, press done at the bottom. No dates selected in find hotel. Force restart same issue
- select Face ID, email verification requested always, never uses Face ID.

### 3/5 — Rental Car

*2026-08-14, version 1.14.0*

When trying to rent a car I had to click all the way through the reservation process to see that actual pick-up location for the car. It would be nice to see this upfront.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2026-08-29, version 1.14.0*

Tried booking a hotel no less than FOUR times and received an error message each time. Thanks, Amex!

### 1/5 — Can’t get it right

*2026-08-28, version 1.14.0*

How many times do o have to step out of this site to the hotel sight.   I could not get a suite for one hotel on Amex so I booked directly with the hotel.  For the other.   Amex will not use my saved Apple Pay or cards and I have to rekey.

### 1/5 — Double charges

*2026-08-26, version 1.14.0*

Used the app one time and Amex charged me twice for my car rental and will not give back the money

### 1/5 — Kiwi traveler

*2026-08-22, version 1.14.0*

Mental, this app literally sucks as they wasted 3 hrs of my morning with continuous nonsense !!
Stay away from this for your mental health.

### 1/5 — Removed the FHR Filter

*2026-08-19, version 1.14.0*

The reason this app was great is because it’s the only reliable way to search for The Hotel Collection and FHR properties. They removed it from Filters and put it in Sort which is bad enough, but the Sort literally does nothing. That means Amex removed the singular feature that makes this app useful, when the feature was working perfectly fine.

### 1/5 — Absolutely Terrible

*2026-08-18, version 1.14.0*

I decided to use the App to book travel. Got a good fare and was putting in my information when it logged me out due to inactivity. Not sure how you can be inactive when you’re filling out travel info. When I logged back in, the flights were triple the cost. Their help was no help at all. Should have saved the annual fee and booked through Google

### 1/5 — Search bad

*2026-08-10, version 1.14.0*

I put in a valid address and no results. Major hotel apps work but not Amex.

### 1/5 — Hotel res issues

*2026-08-09, version 1.14.0*

There needs to be a way to search for hotels by name. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — update constantly

*2026-08-07, version 1.14.0*

constantly asking me to update before I can use it which is very inconvenient when traveling internationally using limited data

### 1/5 — Very unreliable connection and service

*2026-08-04, version 1.13.0*

I’ve used this app so many times where I’ve tried to make a reservation or cancel and I get messages saying they’re having a system error

*2026-08-30, version 1.14.0*

Love everything about this card. Top tier. Best card out of every card I have ever used.

### 5/5 — Excellent Amex Travel App

*2026-08-29, version 1.14.0*

I’ve had a really wonderful experience with the Amex Travel app. Traveling can sometimes be stressful, but this app makes everything feel so much easier and more organized. I love being able to manage my flights, hotels, and travel plans all in one place, and I really appreciate how simple and intuitive everything is.

What I enjoy most is the peace of mind it gives me when I’m traveling. Having all my information right at my fingertips makes a big difference, especially when I’m on the go. Amex has done an excellent job creating an app that feels reliable, convenient, and genuinely helpful.

Thank you, Amex, for making the travel experience a little easier and a lot more enjoyable! ❤️
