American Express provides various forms of support to its cardholders during travel emergencies. Here are some ways they assist:

  1. 24/7 Global Assist Hotline: American Express cardholders can access their Global Assist Hotline from virtually anywhere in the world. This hotline provides immediate assistance in emergency situations, such as medical referrals, legal assistance, lost passport replacement, emergency cash, and access to local emergency services.
  2. Travel Insurance Coverage: American Express offers various travel insurance plans, depending on the specific card and membership level. These plans may cover trip cancellation or interruption, baggage loss, accidental death or dismemberment, and emergency medical expenses. They may also offer car rental insurance and 24/7 roadside assistance.
  3. Emergency Card Replacement: If a cardholder loses their American Express card while traveling, they can easily request an emergency card replacement. American Express can expedite the delivery of a new card to the cardholder's location or provide alternative options for accessing funds.
  4. Travel Alerts and Notifications: American Express sends travel-related alerts and notifications to its cardholders. These may include information about travel warnings or potential disruptions, ensuring cardholders are informed and prepared during their trips.
  5. Personalized Travel Recommendations: American Express provides travel concierge services to cardholders, offering personalized travel recommendations, assistance with booking flights, hotels, and experiences, and access to exclusive events and deals. This helps cardholders navigate their travel plans efficiently and make informed decisions.


It is important to note that the exact support provided may vary based on the cardholder's specific American Express card and membership level. It is recommended to review the terms and conditions of the card to fully understand the available travel emergency benefits.
