FedEx Freight discounts for American Express cardholders
FedEx has launched a promotion with American Express in which less than truckload shippers can receive a 5% discount when using an AMEX OPEN card for payment. The FedEx Freight offer joins existing offers for business cardholders that include a 5% discount on FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipments as well as certain FedEx Office services.
It extends FedEx’s working relationship with American Express, which started in 1998.
Laurie Tucker, FedEx senior vice president of corporate marketing, said: “Small businesses are savvy and they are constantly looking for ways to improve their bottom line. The expansion of our shipping offering will now allow AMEX OPEN cardmembers to save on crucial FedEx Freight shipments.”
FedEx said the OPEN Savings initiative has provided more than $425m in savings for American Express business cardholders since 2004.
The discounts on shipping are applied automatically on payment – appearing within the cardmember’s monthly statement – and do not require codes, coupons or programme enrollment, FedEx said.
Saving can also be combined with other marketplace offers and volume discounts.
