HeadLine: An American Express Card exclusive
SubHead: Lost today, replaced tomorrow

Only the American Express Card can offer you this benefit: 24-hour card replacement, worldwide. Is it any wonder that the card is the world’s most respected and most prestigious, travel and entertainment card.

The American Express Card gives you more convenience, more security, more financial protection than any other card, or even cash.

24-hour card replacement

Carrying the card totally eliminates the need to take along large sums of cash which may be lost or stolen.

If you’re unfortunate enough to lose the card, you are fully protected against any fraudulent use the moment you report the loss to American Express.

If you fail to report the loss or theft of the card, your maximum liability is S$125 – even if the card has been fraudulently used in excess of that amount.

Now in an emergency, most lost or stolen American Express Cards can be replaced fast – usually by the end of the next business day. Simply go to one of the more than 1,000 travel service offices.

Home away from home

When you are away from home, it’s nice to know that there’s a place you can turn to for help when you need it.

As an American Express Cardmember, you have not one but over 1,000 places, all around the world, where you can rely on help for all your travel arrangements. Friendly, knowledgeable assistance from the network of American Express Travel Service and Representative offices.

Help with matters big and small. Big things such as holidays, travel tickets, hotel accommodation and ironing out the problems if your plans should change mid-journey. Or little things, such as local directions, holding your mail, or simply speaking your language in a foreign country.

No pre-set spending limit

(Unlike bank cards) there is no fixed limit imposed on your spending with the American Express Card. Purchases are approved based on your ability to pay, as demonstrated by your past spending, payment patterns and personal resources.

If you’re on an extended trip, you will greatly appreciate this facility as it gives you a greater feeling of confidence and prevents any embarrassing situations.

Emergency cheque cashing

The American Express Card can also help you whenever and wherever you need emergency cash.

It backs your personal cheque for up to the equivalent of US$1,000 in Travelers Cheques and cash.

And with the American Express Card, you can cash a personal cheque up to US$100 at participating hotels and motels around the world, where you are a registered guest.

If you obtain your airline tickets with the American Express Card, you and your family will be automatically covered with S$100,000 travel accident insurance – at no extra cost.

With these benefits and more, is it any wonder that the American Express Card is fast becoming the standard for international currency.
