Between February 1 and April 30, 2012, those who carry the PenFed Premium Travel Rewards American Express® Card, will earn 3 points per dollar spent on all dining purchases*. This limited-time bonus point offer is in addition to the 5 points on airfare purchases and 1 point on all other purchases that Cardmembers already earn every time they use the Card.

"PenFed has worked very hard to design one of the best travel cards available in the rewards card market today," says Kevyn Myers, Executive Vice President, Collections and Card Services, PenFed. "We feel we have accomplished that goal—as this is an exceptional travel card that is loaded with exceptional value; and one that can truly speak to today's savvy traveler."

The PenFed Premium Travel Rewards American Express® Card is frequently recognized as one of the leading travel reward cards available. The PenFed Premium Travel Reward points program offers 25% more value per point than almost all other travel and frequent flier programs when redeeming for airline travel.  Additional features such as a new, competitive variable 9.99% purchase APR**, no annual or foreign transaction fees, and no caps on the rewards cardholders can earn, make the PenFed Premium Travel Rewards American Express® Card a highly competitive travel card contender when compared to many other reward programs currently available in the industry.
