Use American Express for Last Minute Travel Bargains

If you are an American Express cardholder, you can take advantage of the Amex travel site at AmericanExpress.com/consumer travel. The site allows you to book your entire trip, including hotels, airfare, rental car, and more.

To find last minute travel bargains, visit the "view travel offers" page and then click on "last minute." The offers change every day, so check back regularly for excellent deals.

If you find a last minute deal you like, you can book the trip immediately using your Amex card or Amex reward points. The trip must be charged to an eligible Amex, and you will earn double reward points when you book through the site.

Currently, Amex has information about last minute cruises in its travel deal section. You can check out a variety of bargain packages on cruise ships that set sail soon.
