It means Booker customers can now earn American Express Membership Rewards points on their spending

Booker has expanded its partnership with American Express, enabling retailers and foodservice customers to pay with American Express cards in its branches and online.

It means Booker customers can now earn American Express Membership Rewards points on their spending that can be redeemed on travel, gift cards, retail purchases, or statement credits.

This is on top of Booker’s own Spend & Save rebate scheme, the wholesaler added.

Booker said the new agreement followed positive feedback from retailers after it began accepting American Express cards from shoppers across its symbol groups Budgens, Londis and Premier in 2023.

“Our customers regularly tell us they value flexibility and choice when it comes to making purchases,” said Booker chief operations officer Stuart Hyslop.

“Expanding our partnership with American Express is a direct response to that feedback and gives customers another convenient way to pay, both in branch and online. We’ll continue to invest in initiatives that make it easier and more rewarding for foodservice operators, retailers and independent businesses to shop and work with Booker.”

Dan Edelman, general manager, UK Merchant Services at American Express, said: “American Express is now accepted for payment at more locations than ever before in the UK, and we’re committed to ensuring our Cardmembers can use their American Express Card at all the places they want to spend.

“We’re delighted that more Booker locations can now welcome the spending power of American Express Cardmembers.”
