The Amex Stagecoach Activation Features a BÉIS Belt Bag

— April 16, 2025 — Marketing
The Amex Stagecoach activation at the 2025 Stagecoach Festival will offer American Express Card Members exclusive access to curated experiences, highlighted by a new collaboration with travel brand BÉIS.

As part of the partnership, a special-edition Amex x BÉIS belt bag—designed with festival functionality in mind—will be available on April 24 to Card Members staying at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa. Each bag comes pre-packed with thoughtfully selected essentials and can be further personalized at the on-site Amex Experience with a limited-edition charm celebrating the festival spirit.

Set at the heart of the event, the Amex Experience will be a vibrant hub where Card Members can immerse themselves in creative and interactive offerings; from customizing gear in a hands-on workshop to striking a pose in a photo booth featuring album cover-style filters, guests will find moments of play and personalization. The space will also include a vintage-style Coca-Cola fridge and a lively dart game with exclusive e.l.f. Cosmetics prizes. At check-in, Card Members will receive "a complimentary crossbody bag and enjoy first access to exclusive merch bundles—featuring a bandana, hat, and tote—at the Merch To-Go Window."
