Our Amex Partnership

TheFork and American Express give you a more rewarding booking experience.

TheFork, Australia’s leading online restaurant reservations website, has an exclusive long term partnership with American Express Australia. American Express are fully integrated across the booking platform enabling its Card Members to easily identify American Express accepting TheFork restaurants, and make a reservation.

American Express customers are some of Australia’s most sought after diners. Their Card Members are invariably the most affluent, premium spending diners that all restaurants should want dining at their business. They are true supporters of the industry and drive significant revenues, particularly through corporate dining.

This partnership helps TheFork partner restaurants by attracting more American Express Card Members but also benefits customers as it makes finding American Express friendly restaurants a breeze.

This partnership is a significant opportunity to provide Merchants with the digital tools to drive more bookings and promote themselves. And it’s a great customer experience for Card Members who want convenient booking options combined with earning rewards for dining out and paying with their American Express Card. It is a win-win situation for both Card Members and dining Merchants.
