Small business owners using any American Express Business Card can now reduce their travel expenses with an automatic 3% discount on the total cost of Delta(2) and JetBlue flights(3). In addition, Cardmembers who purchase Delta flights with the Delta SkyMiles® Business Card or SkyPoints Delta Business Card, or who purchase JetBlue flights with the JetBlue Business Card, will receive an additional 2% discount, for a total savings of 5% off the total cost of Delta or JetBlue flights.3 Available to new and existing Business Cardmembers, these discounts are Card benefits—not limited-time offers—and apply to all flights booked directly from Delta or directly through any JetBlue channel.

OPEN Savings has delivered more than $100 million in savings to American Express Business Cardmembers since 2004. OPEN Savings eliminates the need for offer codes, coupons or program enrollment and provides automatic savings from well-known brands. Savings can also be combined with other marketplace offers or volume discount pricing that businesses may already be receiving from program partners.

“Delta is pleased to expand our relationship with American Express and offer our customers an opportunity to save money for their small business while earning miles at the same time,” said Jeff Robertson, managing director of the SkyMiles Program. “Our partnership with American Express continues to add to the multiple benefits offered to our SkyMiles members worldwide.”

“By the end of 2006, JetBlue will have introduced new service to 14 new destinations that our customers who travel for business tell us are important,” said Andrea Spiegel, JetBlue's vice president of Sales and Marketing. “We are pleased to now offer our customers an easy way to save even more money when they fly JetBlue for business, through our exclusive partnership with American Express.”

“With the addition of these new partners, small businesses can effortlessly reduce their airline expenses just by using their American Express Business Card,” said Raymond Joabar, senior vice president and general manager, OPEN from American Express. “Time-pressed small business travelers who are weary of coupons or special offer codes now have a better and simpler way to save, with OPEN Savings' automatic and combinable discounts. These two new OPEN Savings airline partners can help substantially increase the millions of dollars in savings that we're already delivering to our small business Cardmembers.”

OPEN Savings is a benefit embedded within all American Express Business Cards. American Express Business Cardmembers simply need to use their credit or charge card for purchases with any OPEN Savings partner to take advantage of discounts. The savings will automatically appear on the Cardmember's monthly statement and can be tracked at www.opensavings.com. OPEN Savings discounts are calculated on the full transaction amount, including any taxes and surcharges. Terms and conditions apply.
