American Express Agency Services Desk (ASD) - On‐line Job Aide

American Express Agency Services Desk (ASD) On‐line Job Aide   

  

American Express has automated the process for Agencies to obtain booking instructions and tracking numbers for the Cruise Privileges Program (CPP) and Platinum/Centurion Destination Vacations (PDV/CDV), through a secure website, beginning August 9, 2010. FH&R reservations will continue to be handled via the phone with the Agency Services Desk. This training job aide will help to familiarize you with the registration process and how to navigate through obtaining tracking numbers and booking instructions.  

Benefits of ASD On‐line:  

  • Obtain booking instructions and tracking numbers for CPP and PDV/CDV for your customers 24x7.    
  • Manage your own profile and agency profile on‐line.  
  • Search and view past bookings captured by your agency and edit them within stipulated time.  
  • The system will automatically validate card member eligibility for the benefits being requested and require the same booking information currently given to the agents over the phone.  

How to obtain access to ASD Online:

  • You can access the Web site at: www.americanexpress.com/asdonline.
  • You will need to create an SSO user ID and a password.
  • You will need the following Agency registration code 24fcfc17de to create an agent profile under your IATA number.

 

Each agent that currently uses the ASD Desk will need to register on the system when using this code for the first time. Once you have registered, you will not need it again unless you forget your log in information.

  • The system will validate that the card member is eligible for the requested benefits and requires the same booking information currently given to the agents over the phone.
  • You will be able to obtain booking instructions for CPP, PDV, via a link on the left hand navigation bar.
  • FH&R Program reservations will still be handled via phone via the ASD desk. The terms and conditions for the FH&R program can also be found in the booking instructions www.americanexpress.com/asdbookinginstructions

Upon initial sign in to the ASD On‐Line system, when launching  www.americanexpress.com/asdonline, you will be directed to the Amex SSO page, where you will need to either create or log in with your SSO (single sign on) user ID and password.  You will then be directed to the ASD welcome screen.
