American Express benefited from a rebound in both leisure and business travel in 2021: The company notched 14% year-over-year revenue growth in 2021, and profit for the year nearly doubled, to $8.1 billion. The company also claimed significant success in signing up new millennial and Gen Z consumers for its premium credit cards. American Express broke with some of its financial-services competitors by launching and endorsing an official hybrid work model, dubbed Amex Flex, with hybrid workers reporting to the office roughly two days a week; the company reported in March 2022 that more than 40% of its workforce had chosen this option.
