This post provides a more detailed examination of the cards and their features.

As High As 175,000 Bonus Points: The Platinum Card® from American Express

Sitting on the fence about getting The Platinum Card® from American Express? This may make your decision easier: Amex announced its iconic Amex Platinum Card is undergoing a major refresh this fall. I’ve written about travel rewards credit cards for ten years. Every big card refresh (aside from just an art update) included an annual fee increase. I expect the Amex Platinum’s $695 annual fee to jump. (Rates & Fees) Word on the streets is $895.

If you get the Amex Platinum Card before the annual fee increase, you’re not on the hook for the difference. Will you get to enjoy the added benefits of the refreshed card? Maybe, maybe not. Amex has been very good about letting their existing members kick the tires on new features. I’m not saying that’ll definitely be the case this time around. But if history is any indicator, we can be rightfully hopeful. (Do not let us down, Amex.)

There’s also a big offer, too. You can earn as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards® Points after spending $8,000 on purchases on the card within the first six (6) months of being approved for card membership. (Welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer. Terms apply.) Read more and learn here how to apply.

If you like the offer Amex presents you, great! Your credit won’t possibly be affected until you accept the offer. No harm, no foul if you don’t like what they give you.

The Amex Platinum Card is loaded with features. I mean, packed. Here are some of the ones we especially like:

• Complimentary access to airport lounges for eligible cardmembers
  • American Express Centurion Lounges when traveling with a confirmed seat on a same-day flight
  • Delta Sky Clubs when traveling on a same-day Delta-operated or -marketed flight.
    • Receive up to 10 Visits per year to the Delta Sky Club. A “Visit” is an entry to one or more Delta Sky Clubs or usage of the Delta Sky Club “Grab and Go” feature at one or more airports for a period of up to 24 hours starting upon the first Delta Sky Club entry or Grab and Go usage, during an Eligible Card Member’s travel on a same-day Delta-marketed or Delta-operated flight. A single Visit permits using Delta Sky Club(s) in multiple airports during the 24-hour period.
    • Once all 10 Visits have been used, Eligible Card Members may purchase additional Delta Sky Club Visits (including Grab and Go) at a per-Visit rate of $50 per person using the Card. To earn an unlimited number of Visits each year, the total eligible purchases on the Card must equal $75,000 or more during a calendar year and each calendar year thereafter.
    • Up to two guests may be brought in for $50 per person. (See Rates and Fees)
  • Escape Lounge by Centurion Suites (with up to two guests) when traveling on a same-day flight
  • Select Plaza Premium Lounges when traveling on a same-day flight
  • Priority Pass Select membership (enrollment required)
• Up to $200 Airline Fee Statement Credit: Select one qualifying airline and then receive up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year when incidental fees are charged by the airline to your card. (Enrollment is required.) Read this post for more information.
• Up to $200 Uber Cash: Enjoy Uber VIP status and earn up to $200 in Uber savings on rides or Uber Eats orders in the US annually. (Receive $15 in Uber Cash each month, plus a bonus $20 in December.) Uber Cash and Uber VIP status is available to the primary cardholder only. Effective November 8, 2024, an Amex Card must be selected as the payment method for your Uber or Uber Eats transaction to redeem the Amex Uber Cash benefit. (Enrollment is required. Terms apply. Uber Cash deposits are made monthly and expire if not used. To receive this benefit, you must have downloaded the latest version of the Uber App and your eligible Amex Platinum Card must be a method of payment in your Uber account. The Amex Benefit may only be used in the United States.)
• Up to $199 CLEAR® Plus Statement Credit: Receive up to $199 in statement credits each calendar year for CLEAR Plus membership costs charged to your card. (Enrollment required. Taxes and fees not eligible. Terms apply)
• Up to $120 Global Entry Statement Credit: Receive either a $120 statement credit every four (4) years for a Global Entry application fee or a statement credit up to $85 every 4.5 years for a TSA PreCheck® (through a TSA official enrollment provider) application fee charged to your Platinum Card. (Terms apply.) Global Entry comes with TSA PreCheck and is the better value, in our opinion. So many travel credit cards offer this benefit — keep in mind you can “gift” it to someone else.
• Up to $200 Hotel Statement Credit: Earn up to $200 back in statement credits each calendar year on prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts® or The Hotel Collection bookings through American Express Travel® when you pay with your Platinum Card®. (Terms apply. The Hotel Collection requires a minimum two-night stay.) Read about our FHR stay at Bellagio Las Vegas!

• Complimentary Gold Elite Status with Hilton Honors (enrollment required.)

  • Enrollment is required and terms apply.
• Up to $155 Walmart+ Statement Credit: Earn back the cost of a $12.95 monthly Walmart+ membership (subject to auto-renewal) plus applicable local sales tax with a statement credit after you pay for Walmart+ each month with your card.

Read our post about this benefit and remember to start your online Saks shopping sessions through a shopping portal such as Rakuten. (Enrollment is required and terms apply.)
