For years, American Express has provided Card Members with unforgettable experiences, unique access and exceptional service across their passion areas of music, sports, fashion, dining, entertainment and more. As Card Member tastes and preferences change, our festival experiences constantly evolve to meet their needs, supporting them in ways both big and small.

“All of our partnerships and experiences begin and end with our customers,” says Rich Lehrfeld, Senior Vice President, Global Media and Experiential Marketing, American Express. “We are returning to Coachella with experiences, benefits and services our Card Members have come to expect and enjoy, as we look to enhance their end-to-end festival journey.”

American Express Festival Benefits

On the festival grounds, American Express Card Members can access an array of benefits when they enroll their eligible American Express Card in the Coachella app.
