How does the billing work? Will AMEX be billing monthly for the BTA?
At the point of ticketing, AMEX will pay the travel agency and the airline. American Express will accrue the charges and once a month creates a billing statement, on or near the 25th of each month. The statement should be received close to the first of the month. The entire bill is due and payable by the 25th of the new month (within 30 days of the statement date). The bill contains at a minimum the travelers name, ticket number and dollar amount. There may be more information, depending upon the airline. Should you need additional traveler information, your travel agency should provide it to you on paper or electronically, per your contract with them. Your bill is to be paid in full each month. Reconciliation should take place on the back end of the process. Any credits and refunds should appear on the following months statement. Discrepancies are resolved between you and your travel agency.
