American Express Is Hiring a Virtual Travel Agent to Plan Dream Vacations

Consider it “travel reimbursement.”

If you’re a seasoned traveler — or if you previously worked in the travel industry — American Express wants to put your knowledge to work as a full-time consultant for its premium card members.

The remote position requires top-notch customer service, sales skills and a knowledge of world geography, since you’ll be booking everything from flights and cars to hotels and entertainment for domestic and international destinations.

The post does not indicate what the pay rate is, but the American Express Careers page lists benefits including medical, dental and vision insurance and a retirement savings plan.

For the first 11 weeks, the training schedule is Sunday through Thursday, 3 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. EST.

After that, you’ll have multiple schedules to choose from that all fall within the center’s hours of operation: 5 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. local time. You must be able to work nights and weekends.
