Booker now accepts American Express payment in branches and online

Booker has strengthened its agreement with American Express, enabling its retail and foodservice customers to pay with American Express cards in Booker branches and online.

The enhanced agreement follows the successful introduction of American Express acceptance across Booker’s symbol group retail estate. Budgens, Londis and Premier stores began accepting American Express as a payment method in 2023.

By paying with American Express in branch or online, Booker customers can earn American Express Membership Rewards points on their spending, which can be redeemed on travel, gift cards, retail purchases, or statement credits. This is on top of Booker’s own Spend & Save rebate initiative.

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