Low cost airline easyJet today announced plans to join forces with American Express in launching an online travel money service. The airline will recommend the new American Express Travellers Cheque Card to its customers and accept the card as payment for bookings.

 

The card is the first prepaid, reloadable travel money card in the UK and this new arrangement is hoped to be able to provide easyJet customers with a new, convenient service. This initiative will enable easyJet customers to order American Express Cheque Cards online, alongside foreign currency and the traditional paper travellers cheques.

 

Launching the card, easyJet’s Head of Ancillary Revenue Hemant Desai commented: “This new arrangement is an exciting move for easyJet. It is the latest initiative as part of our ongoing commitment to deliver more functionality and choice to our customers. We are creating a one stop travel shop at easyJet.com and further developing the online experience.”

 

Jonathan Wood, UK sales director, American Express commented: “We are delighted that easyJet has decided to offer its customers the new American Express Travellers Cheque Card.  The Card represents a new and straightforward way for travellers to carry their holiday money and they can remain confident that if the Card is lost or stolen, the balance can be returned, usually within 24 hours.”

 

“The free reload facility on the Card, plus the fact that funds never expire, mean the Travellers Cheque Card is a flexible, hassle free solution for holiday money. It is convenient for all types of traveller, whether they go abroad several times a year or only once annually on a family holiday.”

 

The card will be available from today at www.easyJet.com and accepted for easyJet bookings throughout Europe.
