Mexican beachfront retreat
Popular for its sun-kissed beaches, Los Cabos is also where you’ll find the colonial town of San José del Cabo, with cobblestone streets and colorful 18th-century buildings housing art galleries, shops, and bistros. Viceroy Los Cabos makes it easy to enjoy both sides of the destination. It’s an architectural marvel right on the beach and within a 10-minute drive to the town center. Rooms, suites, and residences offer indoor and outdoor spaces for basking in the ocean breezes and expansive views. Beyond the standard benefits of The Hotel Collection, Viceroy Los Cabos also offers complimentary breakfast for two each morning.
Your $100 credit can be applied towards charges at any five on-site restaurants and bars – including a full raw bar at NIDO, Casero for hand-pressed tortillas, and Otro Bar for mezcal and tequila – or at The Spa at Viceroy Los Cabos. You might indulge in sensory therapy in one of the thermal rooms or ice fountains, and then take a dip in the vitality pool.
Iconic SoCal stay
Dive into the Pacific Ocean – and into history – at Hotel del Coronado, a recently renovated landmark on the Southern California coast. Built in 1888 as a luxury destination for sunseekers, this historic hotel has starred in films, and hosted A-list celebrities.
Today, guests can enjoy modern amenities like select suites with private patios, firepits, and sweeping ocean views. A family-friendly resort, the hotel offers recreation – including biking, sailing, and waterskiing – and activities like ROAST, during which guests gather round a beach bonfire with blankets to enjoy an à la carte menu of s'mores, artisan pizza, and more.
After a day spent at the beach, put your $100 credit toward a restorative treatment at Spa at The Del, which offers a buffet of massages, facials, and body treatments designed with ocean ingredients. Plus, you’ll get exclusive access to the relaxation lounges, spa terrace, and ocean-view pool when you reserve any treatment. And get even more value from your stay with complimentary breakfast for two each day.
Hip city haven
Immerse yourself in the arts while staying at The Maven Hotel at Dairy Block, a boutique hotel with loft-style accommodations in the hip micro-district of Dairy Block in LoDo (Lower Downtown Denver). The area is packed with eye-catching street art, eclectic restaurants, microbreweries, boutiques, and galleries.
Continue your art tour back at the Maven, which showcases its own collection: hundreds of paintings, sculptures, and photographs by Colorado artists. Creative flair also comes through in the cocktails at Poka Lola Social Club. Inspired by retro soda fountain culture, the bar’s libations incorporate specialty sodas made from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. It’s easy to indulge thanks to the $100 credit that can be applied towards charges at the bar or for a Southwestern meal at the hotel’s Kachina Cantina.
Must be 21 years of age or older to consume alcoholic beverages. Please drink responsibly.
Urban beach getaway
The Rockaways is a haven for in-the-know sunseekers: a peninsula in southeastern Queens with 7 miles of sandy beaches and a boardwalk full of surf shops, bars and food trucks, and a skate park. With 53 rooms, The Rockaway Hotel + Spa is an attractive option for locals in need of a staycation and visitors curious about another side of NYC (it’s connected by subway and ferry and about a 25-minute drive from JFK airport). Take in skyline views from The Rooftop, a 6,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor space that hosts film screenings and live music.
You can put your $100 credit towards a spa treatment; options range from seaweed wraps to aloe facials. The Pool House has a refreshing seafood menu while the streetside Greenhouse Café has grab-and-go items for a picnic. Beyond the beach, nearby attractions are Fort Tilden, a former army base turned park, and Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge for birding and hiking.
Heritage Hamptons retreat
The Hamptons has long been a destination for those seeking coastal luxury – and Amagansett makes a charming base, especially when staying at The Roundtree, Amagansett. With easy access to both the beach and the many restaurants and shops in town, this boutique hotel comprises a 125-year-old main house and 250-year-old cottage imbued with history and heritage – the property was once a working farm and home to one of Amagansett’s founding families.
Spend long, sunny days at the beach, biking through winding back roads, or playing lawn games at the hotel. During your stay, you can put your $200 credit ($100 more than the typical credit) towards afternoon tea service or a private yoga class on the property. You’ll get even more value from your Hamptons vacation thanks to The Roundtree’s additional complimentary benefits: a fully stocked minibar; self-parking for the duration of your stay; and daily breakfast for two.
Refined Miami sanctuary
Miami is known for its white sand beaches – and its energetic nightlife. Experience it all, then return to recharge at Hotel AKA Brickell, a wellness-focused high-rise property overlooking downtown Miami that offers a tranquil respite from the fast-paced city below. Spacious suites have an elegant aesthetic, with soft neutral color pallets that invite calm and rest. Start each day with complimentary breakfast for two and a yoga, Pilates, or cycling class – all are included with your stay, free of charge. Then relax by the rooftop pool, which offers panoramic views of Biscayne Bay.
Here, you’ll enjoy an elevated $125 credit. Use it toward cocktails or champagne at the pool’s Sky Bar or dinner at an onsite restaurant ADRIFT Mare, which serves a menu of Mediterranean influenced coastal cuisine, including wood-grilled fish and fresh crudo.
Playful Hawaiian retreat
Crystal-clear waters and white-sand shorelines: these can be travel cliches, but they ring true in describing the setting of Wayfinder Waikiki, a boutique hotel just two blocks from the beach along the Ala Wai Canal on Oahu’s South Shore. The hotel’s aesthetic is inspired by Hawaii’s natural splendor, with lush foliage indoors and out, vibrant tropical color palettes, and curated touches like headboards with upholstered tropical prints. Mornings start on the right note with complimentary breakfast for two at Redfish – or grab a coffee and a bite at B-Side Coffee Bar to enjoy in your suite’s private lanai. Then, engage in a complimentary morning stretch session before taking a dip in the hotel’s saltwater lagoon pool.
As night falls, the pool becomes a lively scene, with rotating DJs and live music each evening. Put your $100 credit toward tropical cocktails at poolside speakeasy bar Lost + Found.
Glamorous California canyon escape
You’ll feel like Hollywood royalty at Hotel Bel-Air, a legendary property in the canyon hills outside Los Angeles that has been a destination for celebrities (as well as many politicians and other notable figures) since 1946. Sitting upon 12 acres of manicured gardens, the property offers a serene sanctuary far removed from the bustle of downtown LA. Mingle with the hotel’s longtime feathered residents as they bathe at the resort’s tranquil Swan Lake before making a splash of your own at the iconic oval-shaped pool, heated year-round.
Your days begin with complimentary breakfast for two, and value extends to a well-stocked complimentary minibar and an elevated $125 credit. You can put it toward an al fresco dinner on the terrace at The Restaurant at Hotel Bel-Air, serving Mediterranean-influenced cuisine, or a treatment at the Hotel Bel-Air Spa. One, the Signature Valmont Facial – Vitality of the Stars is renowned for its restorative powers.
Alpine ecological resort
Skiers and snowboarders know Jackson Hole has some of North America’s best terrain, plus a lively après-ski scene and village bustling with high-end shops and restaurants. It’s a gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, and summer brings its own fun, like hiking, whitewater rafting, and fly-fishing. After all that activity, unwind at Hotel Terra Jackson Hole, right at the base of the slopes and complete with an outdoor saline infinity pool.
Fuel up for a day of outdoor recreation with complimentary breakfast for two each day. Put your $100 credit toward a meal of handmade pastas at Il Villaggio Osteria, or a spa treatment that incorporates gemstones, essential oils, or herbs like turmeric and lemongrass.
Downtown Charleston charmer
Named after the trees that line many of the cobblestone streets in Charleston’s historic district, The Palmetto Hotel is a living homage to local history. The boutique hotel walls feature historic black-and-white party pictures, and suites are marked by custom upholstery that depicts iconic Low Country destinations. The hotel is conveniently located, with walkable access to the lively bars, restaurants, and shops on King Street and the scenic Waterfront Park Pier.
If you prefer to explore the city by bike, take a complimentary hotel cruiser for a spin to marvel at surrounding neighborhood, including Rainbow Row, an array of historic pastel homes. Use your $100 credit towards craft cocktails or wine at the Lobby Bar, paired with light bites like charcuterie and pimento cheese platters. Breakfast is complimentary for two each day of your stay.
Must be 21 years of age or older to consume alcoholic beverages. Please drink responsibly.
Stylish urban gems in London and New York
Even London has its bargains if you know where to look. Just south of the River Thames, The Hoxton, Southwark, beckons with 192 industrial-chic rooms featuring local art, exposed
brick, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Size ranges from the admittedly “Snug” to the spacious “Biggy,” which is big enough to accommodate a family of three and a pup. Beyond the hotel doors, it’s a short walk to Tate Modern, the National Theatre, and Borough Market, one of London’s oldest and most dynamic food markets.
You can use the $100 credit towards a meal at The Hoxton’s two restaurants. Albie is a casual, all-day option in the lobby, while guests flock to rooftop Seabird for weekday oyster happy hour deals, seafood with Portuguese and Spanish influences, and sweeping city views.
Across the pond, Kimpton Theta New York – Times Square offers a sleek sanctuary at the heart of perhaps the busiest neighborhood in the city that never sleeps. Elegantly minimalist suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows with impressive skyline views. The hotel offers exceptional value with thoughtful amenities like complimentary bikes, a daily social hour, and home-away-from-home comforts like pet beds and even houseplants by request.
Fuel up with a hearty complimentary breakfast for two before a day spent exploring Manhattan – the Midtown hotel is conveniently located within walking (or biking) distance of iconic landmarks, museums, and more. Toast your adventures at Bar Sprezzatura, a rooftop bar inspired by the Amalfi Coast, where you can put your elevated $125 credit towards aperitifs and seasonal small plates with a side of panoramic views.

Purchases by both the Basic Card Member and Additional Card Members on the enrolled Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, the total amount of statement credits will not exceed $200 per calendar year, per Card Account. To receive statement credits, the Basic Card Member must select one qualifying airline through their American Express Online Account or the link for their Card below:

Qualifying airlines include Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines, and are subject to change. Only the Basic Card Member or Authorized Account Manager(s) on the Card Account can select the qualifying airline. Card Members who have not chosen one qualifying airline will be able to do so at any time. Card Members who have already selected one qualifying airline will be able to change their choice one time each year in January through their American Express Online Account or by calling the number on the back of the Card. Card Members who do not change their airline selection will remain with their current airline. Incidental airline fees must be separate charges from airline ticket charges. Fees not charged by the Card Member’s selected airline (e.g. wireless internet and fees incurred with airline alliance partners) do not qualify for statement credits. Incidental airline fees charged prior to selection of a qualifying airline are not eligible for statement credits. Airline tickets, upgrades, mileage points purchases, mileage points transfer fees, gift cards, duty free purchases, and award tickets are not deemed to be incidental fees. The airline must submit the charge under the appropriate merchant code, industry code, or required service or product identifier for the charge to be recognized as an incidental air travel fee.
Please allow 6-8 weeks after the qualifying incidental air travel fee is charged to your Card Account for statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account. American Express relies on airlines to submit the correct information on airline transactions, so please call the number on the back of the Card if statement credits have not posted after 8 weeks from the date of purchase. American Express also relies on the airlines’ processing of transactions to determine the transaction date. If there is a delay in the airline submitting the transaction to us or if the airline 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. If you have transferred to a different Card at the time the airline submits the transaction, you may not receive the statement credit. Card Members remain responsible for timely payment of all charges. Statement credits may not be received or may be reversed if the purchase is cancelled, modified, or returned. To be eligible for this benefit, Card Account(s) must be not cancelled and not past due at the time of statement credit fulfillment. 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 statement credits and may reverse any statement credits provided to you. If a charge for an eligible purchase is included in a Pay Over Time feature balance on your Card Account, the statement credit associated with that charge may not be applied to that Pay Over Time feature balance. Instead, the statement credit may be applied to your Pay In Full balance. For additional information, call the number on the back of your Card.
3$200 Uber Cash: Basic Card Members on a Consumer Platinum or Centurion account and Additional Centurion Members are eligible for $15 Uber Cash each month plus an additional $20 Uber Cash in December, and Uber VIP where available (“Amex Benefit”). To receive the Amex Benefit, you must have downloaded the latest version of the Uber, Uber Eats and/or Postmates apps and added your eligible Platinum Card or Centurion Card as a payment method in your Uber account. To redeem the Uber Cash received through the Amex Benefit, you must select an American Express Card as the payment method for your transaction and have Uber Cash toggled on. The Amex Benefit may only be used in the United States.
To be eligible for the Amex Benefit, your Card Account must not be canceled or past due. American Express reserves the right to suspend your eligibility for the Amex Benefit if we suspect any violation or abuse. Cards added to your Uber account through a third party or electronic wallet such as Apple Pay or PayPal will not be eligible to receive the Amex Benefit. An eligible Platinum Card or Centurion Card can only receive the Amex Benefit on one Uber account. If the same Card is added to multiple Uber accounts, only the first Uber account to which the Card is added will receive the Amex Benefit. The Uber Cash received through the Amex Benefit is found within your Uber Cash balance. It may take up to 48 hours for this Uber Cash to become available in your Uber account after your eligible Card has been added to that account. If you do not see this Uber Cash in your Uber Cash balance within 48 hours from the time you enroll, call the number on the back of your Card for assistance.
To continue to receive the Amex Benefit, the details for your eligible Card must be kept up-to-date in your Uber account and your Uber, Uber Eats and/or Postmates app versions must be kept up-to-date. If your American Express Card details change, you will need to update your Card details in your Uber payment profile before the end of the current month to ensure you remain enrolled in the Amex Benefit, otherwise you may need to re-enroll to continue to receive your Amex benefit. The Uber App, and all other Uber products and services, including but not limited to Uber VIP (which is available in select cities) and Uber Cash, are governed by Uber’s terms and conditions.
In order to use the Uber Cash received through the Amex Benefit, Uber Cash must be toggled on and an American Express Card must be selected as the payment method for your transaction.
The Amex Benefit may be applied to any services to which Uber permits Uber Cash to be applied. If your Uber Cash balance does not satisfy the cost of your ride or order, the Amex Card selected for the transaction will be charged for the difference.
The Amex Benefit will not apply to previous Uber transactions and cannot be used when paying with a family profile. Uber will apply Uber Cash received through the Amex Benefit at the point of sale and it will be displayed on your receipt.
Uber Cash received through the Amex Benefit expires at 11:59 PM Hawaii Standard Time on the last day of each calendar month. Unused balance in Uber Cash from your Amex Benefit will not carry over to the following month. Uber Cash received through the Amex Benefit will be applied for the month in which the transaction is completed. If a transaction is eligible for another promotion that you have added to your Uber account, the promotion will be applied before your Amex Benefit. Certain other types of balances in Uber Cash may be applied to the cost of your ride or order prior to your Amex Benefit in Uber Cash. For purposes of fulfilling this benefit, American Express will share with Uber certain information about your Card, including the Card type, and updated Card information from time to time. If you do not wish to receive the Amex Benefit, please call the number on the back of your Card. If you do not see the Uber Cash portion of the Amex Benefit in your Uber Cash balance by 5:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time on the first day of each calendar month, call the number on the back of your Card for assistance.

Please allow up to 8 weeks after an eligible purchase is charged to the Card Account for statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account. Please call the number on the back of the Card if statement credits have not posted after 8 weeks from the date an eligible purchase is charged to the Card Account. 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, the statement credit for the next benefit period would 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. American Express also relies on information provided to us by the merchant to identify eligible purchases. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible for this benefit, the Basic Card Member will not receive the statement credit. Basic Card Members may not receive the statement credit if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as eligible, if a transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party (such as an app store), or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it.
If the Card Account is cancelled or past due at the time of statement credit fulfillment, it may not qualify to receive a statement credit. 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 statement credits 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. For additional information, call the number on the back of your Card.

To be eligible for this benefit, Card account(s) must be active through the time of statement credit fulfillment.
