TripAdvisor users will now see an "Amex Traveler" badge after a Card Member connects their eligible Card with TripAdvisor at www.tripadvisor.com/amex. Additionally, users will see a card icon and "Amex Card Member Review" next to reviews on TripAdvisor when an American Express Card Member has made a transaction with their connected Card and then written a review for that place. All American Express Card Member account information stays in a secure and protected American Express environment; Card Member data is never passed to TripAdvisor. The integration also leverages the American Express Spend Graph – an aggregate, anonymous mapping of Card Member spending and location data that shows compelling trends in dining, travel and entertainment.
