The Platinum Card® from American Express is a charge card designed for those who have an excellent credit history, can pay in full each month, and want to avoid accumulating credit card debt. This platinum card is by far one of the most glamorous of all platinum cards - offering numerous benefits and services to cardholders. In addition to the services provided by the gold card, the platinum card offers a concierge service, exclusive shopping discounts, up to $500,000 in travel accident insurance, and various travel related discounts, benefits, and services for cardholders (far too many to list here). Access to the Membership Rewards® program is free and offers cardholders the opportunity to redeem accumulated points for various services and benefits. For those who are not familiar with the Membership Rewards program, it is by far one of the best and most flexible reward programs available, with no expiration or yearly limit applied towards points earned. Plus, cardholders get 25,000 Membership Rewards® bonus points when they spend $1,000 in the first three months of Card membership. Through the International Airline Program, you'll receive a complimentary overseas companion ticket on one of 17 participating airlines when you purchase of a qualifying international Business Class ticket through Platinum Travel Service. Of course, all these services and benefits come with a hefty price - a $450 annual fee, which is one of the highest annual fees in the credit card industry. Due to its high annual fee, this card should be exclusively used by those who spend at least $3,500 - $4,500 or more on their credit cards each month, frequently travel, and plan to take advantage of the many exclusive benefits offered. Therefore, those who will take advantage of the many services and discounts and plan to spend several thousand dollars a month will benefit most from the Platinum Card® from American Express.

"If you care about fraud, this is the card for you - Generally speaking, the Platinum card is only useful if you travel a great deal or require the conceirge service. However, where they really excel is in their ability to stop fraud in it's tracks. Twice - once for me, once for my husband - we have had fraudulent charges made on our cards and both times Amex called immediately and alerted us. With no hassle, they eliminated the charges - no paperwork to fill out, no need to justify the other charges made - and overnighted us new cards. Remarkably, I had a receipt stolen from a cash register in a store at the World Trade Center in Manhattan; the thief went to Brooklyn and made three purchases at Rite Aid. Amex immediately knew that the purchases weren't mine. Ditto with international travel. I have never had my card declined overseas but a fraudulent overseas charge was flagged immediately. You may not need help having 1200 thread count sheets delivered to the Amazon by tomorrow morning, but you should want this kind of help when protecting our credit record." Emily, 1/18/2008 "Excellent card with excellent benefits - For a fee of $395, one gets an abundance of services. Concierge, great customer service, dining/travel benefits etc... It's well worth getting this card if one takes advantage of the plethora of services available. This is a "charge" card, so having financial responsibility is paramount, seeing as how the bill will have to be paid in full at the end of the month (extended payment options are available, however, the APR is quite high)." Chiko, 10/4/2006 "Global travel made simple - I was upgraded from Gold to Platinum just 3 months ago, and noticed the difference in service immediately. My wife & I just returned from vacationing in Dublin, Ireland. I used my American Express Platinum Card from start to finish and savored the first-class treatment throughout. From the time I booked it on the Amex Travel website to contacting the concierge service, I was treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. My personal travel assistant arranged dinner reservations at Taylor's Irish Nights (traditional Irish food & dance show)and reconfirmed via e-mail and telephone. We relaxed while waiting for our flight in USAirways Presidential Club with free alcoholic beverages and snacks. The trademark "Platinum Card" is not just a marketing gimmick, whenever I use it; people notice! (quite a status symbol) The Departures magazine just arrived in the mail. Very exclusive ideals and refined tastes for the discerning connoisseur. If you qualify for this card, it's well worth the annual premium." techcybernaut, 4/28/2006 "A GREAT CARD WHEN YOU NEED HELP - I've been an AmEx cardholder since 1999. I was offered the Platinum card in 2001 and took it despite the high annual fee. Two years later I wondered whether the card was worth the high fee. Shortly thereafter I received a call on a Sunday that my grandfather has passed away (the person who raised me). I was unbelievably distraught and tried making travel arrangements through Delta, but couldn't bear to stay on the phone line. I called Amex Platinum services. The rep was incredible. she asked when, where, how etc. and said she would handle everything and e mail me with arrangement. When I arrived at the airport US Air said they were upgrading me to first. When I got to Tampa Airport (late at night), Amex had called Hertz and they had the car pulled to the curb! instead of taking the bus to the lot. After checking into the hotel my message light was on. The message was from the Amex Rep checking to see that I had made my flight and to offer any assistance while I was in Florida. I have since realized that paying for a premium card is not for the everyday occurances, but rather for the unexpected. There is no fee that would have been too high when I really needed assistance." Steve, 3/18/2006 "Great Card - I've been a Amex cardholder since 1996. Started with the green, progressed to gold and now platinum. The best thing about this card would have to be the concierge service. Because of my busy work schedule, i barely have time to plan birthdays or anniversaries. Just a year ago, we were celebrating my son's 13th birthday. I was seriously pressed for time due to a deadline at work and had absolutely nothing planned for his birthday. I contacted American Express to see if they had any types of tickets available for ANYTHING that particular night. What they found was 2 extremely sold out tickets to see the SF Giants play at SBC park. This was the game that Barry Bonds hit his historic 700th Homerun. I was extremely floored at the fact that these tickets where two rows behind home base and that tickets were sold out months in advance. Not only did American Express give my son and I the chance to see history, they also brought him a gift basket full of toys and sports equipment during the middle of the game! This was one of the many experiences that keep me a happy, loyal Amex customer." Aaron, 9/2/2005 "Paid for itself in two days.... This is an addendum to my recent review. I spent the holiday out of the country. I usually stay at the Leading Hotels of the World, particularly in cities. I telephoned Platinum to see what offers I would receive at an exclusive hotel in the city, but to our dismay they had no particular arrangements with platinum (they are new and privately owned) The platinum representative recommended another hotel. The hotel was lovely, perfectly located, great service, etc. However, the big perk was our upgrade. As a platinum member I was given an upgrade to a suite that cost three times what I paid. The suite was extraordinary -- huge parlor, two, that's right two, marble appointed bathrooms. king size bed, and a lovely view overlooking the city. Along with the upgrade of the room, we received free breakfast every morning! The breakfast alone were 30US per day. Within a day and half to two days, the $395 annually fee was paid for with this the upgrade and perks. Consequently, we wound up staying an extra night -- five instead of four. For those of you that may be be thinking that the $395 annual fee is oppressive, forget about it. Just go on one business trip, or take one vacation a year and it pays for itself. This is the card to have!" Charles, 1/8/2004 |
