The Platinum Card from American Express is one of the most versatile premium credit cards on the market. The card offers value for those who like to make use of the myriad statement credits it provides. Now, Amex is upping the ante by providing even more value. For a limited time only, the American Express Platinum Card is giving cardholders the chance to earn up to $1,880 in statement credits.
American Express Platinum Card Limited-Time Statement Credit Offers
American Express spent the better part of 2020 looking to add value to its premium, Membership Rewards cards. The coronavirus pandemic significantly impacted the value of the travel perks for which Amex cards are known.
The American Express product refreshes anticipated late last year are now starting to become apparent. The issuer is now launching a massive assortment of statement credits to its already impressive Platinum Card. These new, limited-time credits include the following:
Platinum Card Statement Credit Offers Available Through June 2021
PayPal Statement Credits
