Summary

American Express is changing the rules for its digital entertainment statement credit on the American Express Platinum Card. Starting August 1, 2026, certain Peacock subscriptions will no longer qualify for the up to $25 monthly credit. The change affects Peacock bundled subscriptions, add-on services, and subscriptions purchased through third parties. Stand-alone Peacock subscriptions purchased directly from Peacock will still qualify.


Our Reading

The escape is carefully planned.

Cardmembers can still receive up to $25 in monthly statement credits with eligible stand-alone Peacock subscriptions. The updated terms draw a distinction between stand-alone Peacock subscriptions and bundled offerings. Only eligible stand-alone Peacock subscriptions purchased directly from Peacock will continue to earn the monthly statement credit. The change may affect cardholders who have been using Peacock bundles to maximize the monthly credit. The trip promises a break from the usual streaming expenses.
