If you’re not booking with Fox Travel, you could be leaving money and benefits on the table. As a Travel Associate of American Express Travel, we can offer you many benefits like using your points to travel.
Frequently, many travelers mistakenly believe booking on the Internet offers cheaper options for vacations and cruises. While that impression may be attention-getting, the real question is:
“Is this the best value?”
When you book the same travel with Fox Travel, you qualify for several additional amenities and benefits if you are an American Express cardholder or if you have other kinds of credit cards. And because Fox Travel is an AMEX-affiliated agency, we can pass on many benefits to all our clients. So read on!

Co-branded AMEX cards are ineligible. You may use your AMEX points to pay the deposit or final for airfare, tours, resorts, cruises, insurance, and more at Fox Travel. Your AMEX card does not have to be registered in the Membership Rewards program to enjoy many of these benefits. Other charge cards may be used where travel vendors also offer amenities to Fox Travel clients.
