American Express Gift Certificates What is the American Express Travel Gift Certificate?
The American Express Travel Gift Certificate1 is a novel yet practical idea that lets you give the gift everyone enjoys - travel.

How can it be used?
It is the perfect gift for all occasions, including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, seasonal holidays, and graduations. Family or friends may wish to jointly contribute to the value of a Travel Gift Certificate.

On the corporate side - the uses are numerous.
Consider the American Express Travel Gift Certificate for your next incentive award, sales bonus, lucky draw or door prize. It's the perfect gift for anyone who deserves special recognition and attention.

How much does it cost?
The sky is the limit with the American Express Travel Gift Certificate. Certificates are available in $50, $100, and $500 denominations and there's no service charge. You choose the combination that's best for you.

Where can it be used?
The Certificate can be redeemed for vacation travel purchases made at any American Express Travel Agency in Canada. Eligible purchases include airline tickets, tour packages, hotel and car rental reservations, train tickets and cruises booked with an American Express Preferred Supplier2. In the event the chosen holiday package purchased is worth more than the value of the Certificate, the balance can be settled separately by using cash or a major credit card. If the holiday package costs less than the value of the Certificate, we'll issue you a new lower denomination Certificate to use on your next trip!

How can I pay for it?
You can pay for the American Express Travel Gift Certificate via cash, cheque3, or the American Express Card. It's that flexible.

Can it be combined with other discounts or offers?
As long as you meet the terms and conditions of the other offers or discounts, you can use the Gift Certificate just like you would cash.

Where can I get American Express Travel Gift Certificates?
Exclusively through participating American Express Travel Agencies4 in Canada. Use the travel office locator to find the Canadian office nearest you.
