The American Express Platinum Card just got a major refresh, and it’s packed with new perks. Cardmembers now get a $600 annual hotel credit for Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection, a $400 dining credit through Resy, a $300 lululemon credit, and even $200 toward an Oura Ring. Plus, Amex boosted digital entertainment credits to $300, added Leaders Club Sterling hotel status, and introduced a sleek new mirror-finish card design. The annual fee has increased to $895, but with over $3,000 in total annual value, frequent travelers may still come out far ahead if their lifestyle coincides with what it offers.
As is common with American Express, there are many terms and conditions to be aware of, so this video will be your in-depth Amex Platinum Card review and guide with all the essential info you need to determine if it’s worth applying for.
