American Express Canada announced expanded acceptance at three well-known Canadian restaurant chains: Chuck's Roadhouse, Smoke's Poutinerie and Mandy's Salads, giving Cardmembers more places to enjoy and be rewarded for dining experiences across Canada. This expansion reflects American Express' ongoing commitment to increasing acceptance in places where Cardmembers love to dine. Dining is one of the top passion areas for Amex Cardmembers, who spent an average of CAD 3,000 on dining and made an average of 75+ dining purchases in Fiscal year 2025.
American Express is accepted at millions of places across Canada, including many dining locations. These newly accepting locations build on the significant advancements Amex has made in recent years to grow acceptance in Canada, including at many of the fast food, coffee and dining locations Cardmembers frequent. Since 2021, Amex Card-accepting dining locations in Canada have increased by over 1.5x.
American Express is a longstanding sponsor of Restaurants Canada and Association Restauration Québec, supporting Amex's goal of serving as a trusted partner to the hospitality and foodservice industries. Through these partnerships, Amex has deepened relationships across the industry, supported business growth by providing valuable resources and insights, and expanded the number of places that welcome Amex Cards. Additionally, through its sponsorship of MTLàTABLE, American Express helps drive traffic to participating restaurants while making it easier for Cardmembers to discover and enjoy Montréal's diverse culinary scene.
