American Express completed its acquisition of TheFork. It acquired the European online restaurant reservation platform from Tripadvisor for approximately $700 million in cash. The deal closed on November 1, 2026.
The acquisition adds over 50,000 restaurants across 11 European countries to American Express's dining services portfolio. This move enhances cardholder benefits and deepens its global dining footprint. It complements prior acquisitions of Resy and Tock. The combined network is expected to include 75,000 bookable venues.
American Express aims to create a more comprehensive ecosystem for members to discover, book, and dine at restaurants. TheFork's existing leadership team will remain in place, operating the brand within the American Express network.
