American Express Checkout Launch: Get $10 Off At Newegg, Ticketmaster & More
American Express just announced that it is rolling out a new feature called American Express Checkout, which allows U.S. cardmembers to check out quickly at participating online merchants by using their existing AmericanExpress.com login credentials. And to promote the new launch, American Express is offering a one-time $10 statement credit per merchant when you use American Express Checkout at participating online merchants, which include: BarkBox, Burberry, Ledbury, Newegg, Sabon, Ticketmaster, Warby Parker and The Wall Street Journal through September 7, 2015.
American Express Checkout works in a similar way as other payment services such as PayPal. While shopping at a participating online merchant, as signified by the presence of an American Express Checkout button, cardmembers can log in using their AmericanExpress.com User ID and password, choose the American Express card they want to pay with and American Express will auto-fill the checkout fields with just a few clicks. Cardmembers can confirm or edit their information on the merchant site before submitting an order.
Unlike other payment services, users are limited to only paying with their American Express cards. On the positive side, though, American Express Checkout does not require users to create or manage a new account.
American Express Checkout is currently available at BarkBox, Burberry, Ledbury, Newegg, Sabon, Ticketmaster, Warby Parker and The Wall Street Journal. In the coming months, it is expected to be rolled out to the websites for Avis Car Rental, Banana Republic, Cole Haan, Hulu, Gap, Intermix, Old Navy, POPSUGAR Must Have, Rocketmiles, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and others.
Qualifying merchants for the $10 statement credit include:
- Newegg
- Ticketmaster
- The Wall Street Journal
- WSJ Wine
- Barkbox
- Ledbury
- Warby Parker
- Burberry
- Sabon
- Laithwaite’s Wine

Terms of the $10 statement credit offer can be found here.
Of special note:
- There is no minimum purchase specified
- You can earn one $10 statement credit per merchant per AmericanExpress.com account, so those with multiple American Express accounts can get multiple credits per merchant
