BA and Amex end dispute and plan joint card launch
29 August 2012
American Express and British Airways have settled a three-year row that forced purchasers to pay the processing fee on certain fares booked with payment cards.
Under the truce, BA will resume paying merchant fees from October after Amex agreed to cut its rates.
The airline will also pay the fees for other card companies.
Larger organisations with net (upfront discount) negotiated deals with BA will make direct purchasing and indirect process savings as a result of the change.
