Dealing with American Express travel is the same as using any other online travel agency or consolidator. If you have a USA-issued Centurion or Platinum charge card, or a SkyMiles credit card there is no foreign transaction fee. Otherwise, American Express (USA) charges a fee only if the transaction is billed in a foreign currency. If the charge is submitted in US Dollars there will be no fee.

(This does not necessarily mean that the travel agency has converted the transaction to dollars at a favorable rate.)
