AMEX Platinum — Finesse The Game With the Best Travel Credit Card
American Express Platinum Travel Card’s Benefits and How to Best Utilize Them
8 min readJan 9, 2023
I’ve personally found the AMEX Platinum credit card that comes in at a $695 annual cost is ROI positive if I travel at least 4x a year. I compared this card to the Chase Saphire Reserve and Capital One Venture X card but wound up choosing AMEX Platinum because it better suited my qualifications.

To use the majority of the benefits, you must ‘activate’ them. Here is how:
- Login to your AMEX account → Click your AMEX Platinum card in the top right
- Click “Rewards & Benefits” in the top right → Scroll down to “Card Benefits” → “View All Card Benefits”
- Go through the list of all the benefits and ‘enroll’ in them, often having to make an account with other websites (such as Hilton, Clear, etc). I recommend using a password manager like Lastpass to help with saving login information
