Sorry, I do not understand what this means.

Earning Bonus Cards: 5x on Platinum
American Express Travel (USA) is outsourced to Expedia. This does not apply to other countries.
Personal Platinum earns 5X on flights booked directly with airlines or with Amex Travel, and 5X for Prepaid hotels booked through Amex Travel. No bonus for any other type of Amex Travel booking.
Business Platinum earns 5X on flights and hotels booked with Amex Travel. No bonus for any other type of Amex Travel booking.
Other cards (Gold, Green, etc) have smaller bonuses for booking some categories through Amex Travel. Do you want to include those in the Wikipost?
American Express also has three programs that are accessed through their portal. Much of the value of booking through American Express comes from these features:
International Airline Program (IAP)
Fine Hotels and Resorts (FHR)
Hotel Collection (THC)
