You are insured for up to €570,000 when travelling on public transport booked using your card. Inconvenience benefits insurance protects you when travelling on scheduled flights booked using your card – please see details in your personal “American Express Corporate Card –insurance benefits terms and conditions” booklet or in the insurance section on www.americanexpress.de/willkommen.

* American Express Services Europe Limited ("AESEL") makes various benefits available to Cardmembers.  These benefits derive from contracts which AESEL has made with third parties which AESEL is free to amend, extend or terminate at its sole discretion.  These benefits do not form part of AESEL's contract with you but AESEL will aim to inform you 30 days in advance of any changes to the available benefits which may be to your detriment.  One of the benefits currently available is the benefit of contracts of insurance made between AESEL and certain insurers, for example travel insurance benefits.  You will lose these benefits if you cease to be a Cardmember.  Exclusions apply.  Full details of the insurance benefits currently available can be found in the Summary of Benefits document which will be provided with your Card.

Manage Your Card Account is a complimentary online management tool that enables Cardmembers to access their American Express accounts anytime, anywhere Internet access is available. With Manage Your Card Account, Cardmembers are able to conveniently:

• Track expenses and reconcile charges
• Access and download statements
• Complete expense reports

The American Express Mobile app allows Cardmembers to easily and conveniently:

• View statements and activity
• Make payments, if needed
• Reduce risk with instant fraud alerts

Your card uses chip and PIN technology for added security. Instead of signing the bill when purchasing an item, you will be asked for your PIN (more and more stores are upgrading their systems). You can view your PIN on your online account at www.americanexpress.de/konto-online.

If you applied for a card online, you will have been asked to choose your own PIN. If you submitted a paper application, your PIN is chosen randomly and cannot be changed. In this case, the PIN will be sent to you by post separately to the card.

You benefit from prolonged payment terms of 28 days. This gives you a few weeks on average to complete your travel costs claim form and get reimbursed from your employer before you need to pay off your balance. Using your card means that you do not have to use your own cash when on business trips.
