Why It’s on Our Radar
We find a lot of value in the travel and lifestyle benefits that come with the Platinum Card — especially the hotel statement credit for eligible prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts® bookings and the lululemon credit.
We’ve used Fine Hotels + Resorts® for some really great hotel stays, and it’s one of those benefits I always check when we’re planning a trip to see if it makes sense for where we’re going.
And then there’s lululemon. 😂 I have yet to find a better pair of shorts to wear all day at a soccer tournament, so that’s one credit I have zero trouble using.
For us, those are the benefits that matter most — the ones that fit into travel and purchases we were already planning anyway.
Keep This in Mind
The American Express Platinum Card® has an $895 annual fee.
With an annual fee this high, we think it’s important to consider which benefits you’ll actually use, rather than simply adding up the value of every available credit.
