For its tenth consecutive year, American Express is enhancing the Coachella experience for Card Members with exclusive, curated activations.
At the Amex Experience, attendees can participate in a 'Customization Workshop,' where they can personalize merchandise with festival-inspired charms, such as an exclusive crossbody bag and a trucker hat. An interactive photo booth offers personalized photo sessions with album cover filters, while a custom dart game provides the chance to win prizes like treats from Cake Monkey Bakery or festival partner Hi-Chew. Meanwhile, a Coca-Cola fridge offers complimentary beverages before festival-goers head back to the action.
In partnership with Pinterest, Card Members can create digital moodboards to visualize their festival aesthetic. The 'Merch To-Go Window' returns, offering exclusive festival merchandise bundles, including a bandana, hat, and tote bag, available only to Card Members while supplies last. This partnership continues to provide unique, memorable festival experiences for American Express Card Members.
