Platinum Card Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Platinum or Premium Card?
Platinum and Premium Cards offer great value benefits, more perks and richer rewards than a standard Card. These benefits normally come with a higher annual fee, so you should weigh up the value of these benefits together with the way you spend to see how the Card will suit your lifestyle.
The term ‘Platinum’ has less to do with the actual Card colour, and more to do with the breadth and quality of benefits that come with the Card. This category typically provides the richest benefits available by American Express and other Card providers.
Is the American Express® Platinum Card a Charge Card?
Yes, the American Express® Platinum Card is a Charge Card. Different to Credit Cards, Charge Cards come with flexible spending power, also known as no pre-set spending limit10, giving you greater purchasing power by allowing you to make larger purchases on your Card, all while earning points. This means that the amount you can spend is dynamic and can adapt based on your transaction patterns, your personal credit rating and other factors. You’ll need to pay off the full balance each month to avoid incurring a fee. Learn more about Charge Cards here.
What is the annual fee for the American Express® Platinum Card?
