Last week, I wrote about how the Amex Platinum Card is soon about to lose of its benefits at the end of this month. After its refresh last year, the Amex Platinum Card now offers a lot of different benefits and credits, split across different merchants and time frames. One such benefit is a brand new benefit that was recently added after the Fall 2025 refresh. So, the brand new Lululemon credit, how soon does it post in 2026? Let’s have a look.
Amex Platinum Card: Lululemon Credit Benefit
If you currently don’t have the Amex Platinum Card, then the card is currently offering a variable welcome bonus. With this welcome bonus, you can earn up to 175,000 American Express Membership Rewards points.

With the Lululemon credit benefit, cardmembers enjoy up to a maximum of $300 in credits during every calendar year. This benefit is split quarterly, with cardmembers eligible to receive up to a maximum of $75 during each quarter.
“Eligible purchases are purchases made directly with lululemon at lululemon stores in the U.S., online at U.S. website shop.lululemon.com or through the lululemon app (excluding lululemon Studio, Like New, outlet locations, warehouse, event locations, showroom and wholesale transactions). Not valid on purchases shipped outside the U.S. or gift card purchases. Purchases by both the enrolled Basic Card Member and Additional Card Members on the eligible Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, statement credits will be provided for only up to $75 in statement credits each quarter for a total of up to $300 per calendar in statement credits per Card Account.”
As per the terms and conditions, the credit will only apply for purchases made on the Lululemon website or at one of their stores. This credit is only applicable for purchases made in the US. Before you make a purchase, you must enroll.
Timeline: From Purchasing to Getting the Credit
When I’m not buying something for myself, I use a lot of my shopping credits on various credit cards to gift something to someone. In this case, I was looking to gift something and found it on the Lululemon website. After adding all the taxes and other charges, my total came to $74.35.
Here’s how the credit posted:
- On Apr 14, 2026, I made the purchase on Lululemon.com
- On April 15, 2026, the benefit slider moved, showing that the benefit had been used for the second quarter of 2026.
- On April 16, 2026, the credit posted to the account (even though the transaction date shows up here at April 14)
The Pundit’s Mantra
As per the terms and conditions, American Express says that it may take up to eight weeks for the credit to post to your account. However, it usually takes around three to four days.
