The $600 Hotel Credit is an annual benefit of the U.S. Consumer Platinum Card® and Business Platinum® Card. Each calendar year, Basic Card Members on the Card Account can earn up to $300 back in statements credits semi-annually for a total of $600 in statement credits per calendar year.
U.S. Consumer Platinum Card Members and Business Platinum Card Members are eligible for and are automatically enrolled in the benefit.
If you pay in full at the time of booking it is considered a prepaid booking, as opposed to paying a deposit or at the time of hotel stay check-out. A prepaid booking is referred to as “Pay Now” on Amextravel.com, the AmexTravel™ App, and in the Amex App.
No, enrollment is not required.
This U.S. Platinum Card and Business Platinum Card benefit will reset at the start of each calendar year. Eligible bookings must be processed before June 30, 11:59PM Central Time to be eligible for statement credits within the January to June benefit period and before December 31, 11:59PM Central Time to be eligible for statement credits within the July to December benefit period, but you do not need to complete your travel by that date.
Prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts® or The Hotel Collection bookings that are made through American Express Travel® with your eligible U.S. Platinum Card or U.S. Business Platinum Card are eligible for the Hotel Credit. A two-night minimum stay is required for The Hotel Collection. Eligible bookings do not include, for example, Pay Later or Pay at Hotel bookings or non-Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection bookings.
Simply make an eligible prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection booking through AmexTravel.com or by calling the number on the back of your eligible U.S. Platinum Card or U.S. Business Platinum Card to earn up to $300 back in statement credits semi-annually. No enrollment is required. See Terms & Conditions below.
You can use Membership Rewards Pay with Points for all or part of your eligible prepaid hotel booking. However, you can only earn the $600 Hotel Credit for charges that are charged to your eligible Platinum Card, if you have not already earned the credit for the year. Any portion of your booking covered using Pay with Points does not qualify to receive up to $300 back semi-annually.
Yes, you will receive Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection benefits. You can learn more about the program benefits at AmericanExpress.com/FHR and AmericanExpress.com/HC.
While it may be sooner, please allow up to 90 days after making an eligible charge, for the statement credit to be posted to your Card Account. Call the number on the back of your eligible U.S. Platinum Card or U.S. Business Platinum Card if the statement credit has not posted after that time.
The credits will appear on your billing statement as “AMEX FINE HOTELS RES” or “AMEX HOTEL COLLECTN” with “Amex HotelCredit” in the description.
Yes, eligible prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection bookings made by U.S. Consumer, Business, and Additional Platinum Card Members will earn the $300 statement credit semi-annually. No more than a total of $300 in statement credits for eligible purchases will be applied across all Platinum Cards on the Account semi-annually. The statement credits will be credited to the Basic Card Member’s Card Account.
Some modifications require a booking to be cancelled and a new booking made. When a booking is cancelled and a refund is issued that results in the purchase being less than $300 and you previously received the full $300 semi-annual statement credit for the booking, the amount of that credit may be reversed. Statement credit(s) may not be received or may be reversed if the booking is refunded, cancelled, or modified.
If you are the Basic Card Member, visit the Benefits tab of your online account to track your progress on the $600 Hotel Credit. You can also call the number on the back of your eligible U.S. Platinum Card or Business Platinum Card.

American Express relies on the merchant’s processing of transactions to determine the transaction date. If there is a delay in the merchant submitting the transaction to us or if the merchant uses another date as the transaction date then your purchase may not earn the statement credit benefit for the benefit period in which you made the purchase. For example, if an eligible purchase is made on December 31st but the merchant processes the transaction such that it is identified to us as occurring on January 1st, then the statement credit available in the next calendar year benefit period will be applied, if available. If you have transferred to a different Card at the time the merchant submits the transaction, you may not receive the statement credit. Statement credit(s) may not be received or may be reversed if the booking is refunded, cancelled, or modified. If the Card Account is cancelled or past due, it may not qualify to receive a statement credit. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible, you will not receive the statement credits. For example, your transaction will not be eligible if it is a booking: (i) made with a property not included in the Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection programs, (ii) not made through American Express Travel, or (iii) not made with an eligible Card. Participating properties and their availability are subject to change. If American Express, in its sole discretion, determines that you have engaged in or intend to engage in any manner of abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with this benefit, American Express will not have an obligation to provide and may reverse any statement credits provided to you. If a charge for an eligible purchase is included in a Pay Over Time balance on your Card Account, the statement credit associated with that charge may not be applied to that Pay Over Time balance. Instead, the statement credit may be applied to your Pay In Full balance.
