Together with Norwegian Cruise Lines, AmEx organized two elite cruises and invited on board some of the biggest names in food, wine and entertainment. Universal credit card will become the company's first theme park deal. The partnership enables American Express to participate in product placement and co-promotion on Universal Pictures and Focus Features' films and provide special options for anyone holding an American Express credit card, ranging from discounts at the parks to exceptional entertainment experiences.
The newly-launched Universal American Express Card comes with no annual fee and 0% APR on purchases for up to 6 months. Moreover, it lets you save money by offering significant discounts on select purchases at Universal Parks and CityWalk.
