Last week, the relaunch of the Amex Platinum Card and the Business Platinum Card dominated most of the news cycle in the miles and points space. That and more as we recap stories from the week gone by.
Is the ‘new’ Amex Platinum Card worth the $895 Annual Fee?
So after all the fervor and chatter, the Amex Platinum Card has finally gone live with its new benefits. So, now that the annual fee is $895, is it worth getting this card with the much higher annual fee?
If you’re an existing cardholder, you’ll enjoy all the new benefits with the lower annual fee, if your next annual fee is billed on or before January 2, 2026. This is fantastic for people who have card renewal dates between now and the end of this year.
$3,500 in value? Amex Platinum Card refresh: 10 things you need to know
American Express is claiming that card members can derive up to $3,500 in value from the American Express Platinum Card. I’d take that with a huge grain of salt. However, to be fair, this refresh is a lot better than the previous one. American Express has made a great attempt to offer a little bit of everything in three main categories: travel, dining and entertainment.

I was able to pull up a 250,000 points offer via referral links. This post describes how you can access the offer.
