Retiree Benefits

The continuing benefits list effective January 2020.

Annual Card Fee

AE Card

The first £37.50 of the annual membership fee is waived and automatically carried forward if you had this benefit as an employee. New fee waivers are not given for applicants after retirement – you must apply while still an employee. The conditions include :
- Before retirement you must be in possession of an Amex Card where the membership fee is funded by Amex.
- On retirement you must retain this specific card.
- You must retire directly from Amex, i.e. no break in employment.
- You do not change the card product, i.e. green to gold or vice versa, after retirement.

If these criteria are met the membership fee is automatically refunded by Amex on retirement and then automatically every year. You do not have to claim the refund. You cannot get the fee waiver back dated.

Newsletters

AE Card

A quarterly printed newsletter is produced by The Club and distributed on our behalf by American Express to home addresses. Buck, the Pension Administrators, can mail the printed newsletter to anyone who is in receipt of a monthly pension from the Amex UK Pension Plan, so that is current or future retirees from the Pre 96 section.

An electronic Newsletter is also available, each month. Sign up for this on the Home Page.

Retiree Club Events

AE Card

All events are advertised together with the appropriate location and any costs involved, in the various Newsletters and on this website. You may also bring along guests to any event unless specifically advised otherwise.
