Amex platinum spend tracking

Benefits for the financially savvy

 

Your American Express Platinum Card has several features to help you keep track of your spending.

Account tools and controls

 

The Platinum Card comes with flexible spending power11, also known as no pre-set spending limit. 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. The way you use your Card can help your spending power grow, particularly in the first few months. To help maximise your spending power, make regular transactions and don’t miss any payments.

 

You can check your spending power by entering the amount of a purchase you want to make to find out if it is likely to be approved. This might come in handy if you’re planning to make a large purchase with your Card.
It’s also easy to keep track of your spending by logging in your online account or visiting the Amex App.

Managing your Card balance

 

There are a few ways to keep your Platinum Card Balance on track by using the points on your Card. You can choose to cover almost anything you've purchased on your Card with Cover Charges with Points19 or you can redeem your points for a credit to your Card with Points for Credit20. That’s the freedom of using your Membership Rewards points your way.
