Summary
American Express Platinum Card and The Business Platinum Card from American Express offer overlapping rewards structures and similar benefits, making it worth considering having both cards despite the $895 annual fee for each. The cards offer substantial welcome bonuses, statement credits, and earning rates that can be maximized when used together. Authorized users can also benefit from lounge access, Global Entry/TSA PreCheck application fee credits, and elite hotel and rental car status.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
With both cards, you can enjoy double the welcome bonuses, up to $600 annual hotel statement credits, and up to $200 airline fee statement credits. You can also maximize your earning rates and redemptions, and separate your expenses between personal and business. The cards offer access to Amex Offers, allowing you to earn statement credits or bonus points with participating merchants. Having both cards can be beneficial for small-business owners with large budgets who want to take advantage of generous credits and luxurious travel opportunities.
The cards are designed to be used together, not separately.
