(Expired) Get your $200 Travel Credit from AMEX Platinum!

Those of you who have the American Express Platinum card will now receive a $200 travel credit when you use your Platinum card for travel purchases through the American Express Travel page. Cardholders already received an annual $250 airline credit but now will receive this credit in addition to the prior credits.

Offer is good until December 31, 2021. in order to receive the travel credit, you need to book your travel through American Express Travel at amextravel.com or call the number on the back of your card. You do not need to enroll to receive this benefit but you may want to log in and make sure it shows up that you have the credit. Visit Amextravel.com and there should be a block on the right-hand side showing your $200 statement credit as in the image below.

You can use the credit on airfare, hotel, flight + hotel packages, cruise reservations, car rentals, or tours. Statement credits usually show within a few days but may take up to 90 days. The Platinum Card has an annual fee of $550 but can be waived for active-duty military with Amex cards. You still get to keep all the added benefits without the fees! You can sign up using my referral and get 60,000 membership rewards points.
