ASTA Petitions American Express to Restore Advisor Access to Privileges
The American Society of Travel Advisors is petitioning American Express to restore travel advisors' access to its cardmember privileges and benefits. The society argues that advisors rely on these privileges to serve clients effectively and that cutting access disadvantages both advisors and the travelers they book. The dispute highlights ongoing friction between travel agencies and card issuers over advisor recognition and perks.
Why now: The travel advisor community is watching how a major industry association challenges American Express over access to client-facing benefits.
