Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
The American Express Platinum Card offers a range of statement credits and perks that can be used to offset the high annual fee. The card provides lounge access, including Amex’s Centurion Lounges, Delta Sky Clubs, and Plaza Premium lounges. The card also offers statement credits for lifestyle and travel purchases, such as a Walmart+ membership and Lululemon purchases. The author has earned over $1,200 in value from the card in 7 months.
The Amex Platinum is a good fit for frequent travelers who can maximize the statement credits and lounge access. However, it may not be the best fit for infrequent travelers or those who don’t frequently travel through airports with Centurion, Plaza Premium, or Escape lounges.
