I cannot find a press release mentioning this. The blog article is confusing because it mentions calling the Platinum concierge to book, but the American Express spokesperson refers to travel counselors and Relationship Managers . I would not call the concierge, nor would I call American Express Travel (outsourced to Orbitz). I would call Platinum Travel Service, but that's only a guess.
