Get complimentary hotel stays and enhanced perks with Amex's limited-time Platinum Card offer.
American Express is offering exclusive benefits and experiences for The Platinum Card® from American Express in honor of its 40th anniversary. From May 9 until Sept. 30, 2024, cardholders can enjoy perks such as complimentary hotel stays and enhanced rewards.
The Amex Platinum Card has a limited-time offer, and CNBC Select provides the details on how to make the most of it.
Amex's Platinum Card Anniversary Celebration
American Express is offering enhanced perks and benefits to Platinum Card holders in travel, dining, and retail during the summer in honor of its 40th anniversary.
Complimentary third night at select hotels
Enjoy a complimentary third night at select hotels when booking through the Amex Travel portal. You can choose from over 200 Fine Hotels + Resorts® and The Hotel Collection properties.
More Hilton points when you transfer from Amex
You will receive 40% more Hilton Honors points than usual when transferring your Amex Membership Rewards points to the hotel chain's loyalty program from May 9 until May 31, provided you were a cardholder as of April 20, 2024.
The promotion means that for every 1,000 Amex points transferred, you will now receive 2,800 Hilton Honors points instead of the previous 2,000 points.
You can book a deluxe king-sized bed at the Conrad Los Angeles for $500 per night using 90,000 Hilton points. If you want to stay on a specific Hilton property and use your points, the 40% boost is a great benefit. However, keep in mind that Amex points are usually more valuable when redeemed through travel partners.
Access to select restaurant reservations
Through the Global Dining Access by Resy program, Platinum cardholders can make reservations at select popular restaurants nationwide, with 40 nights of Platinum exclusive to cardholders.
The "40 Nights of Platinum" program offers Platinum cardholders exclusive reservation access during specific dates, allowing them to book a reservation that they wouldn't have access to on other dates. However, it's important to note that availability may vary and it's crucial to secure a reservation in time.
Anniversary-themed cocktails and treats at U.S. Centurion Lounges
Centurion Lounges, accessible to Amex Platinum cardholders, are located in over 14 U.S. airports, including JFK and LAX. JFK's lounge features an "1850" speakeasy bar and an Equinox Body Lab wellness experience, while LAX's lounge offers LA-inspired dishes and tranquility rooms. To celebrate the card's 40th anniversary, specialty treats and cocktails are available.
Bottom line
As a cardholder of The Platinum Card® from American Express, you can take advantage of the current offerings to accumulate more points and enjoy enhanced benefits. This summer, you can use Amex to secure prime restaurant reservations, get a free extra night at a hotel, or savor artisanal cocktails and treats.
