Looking for a Card that offers you more? Here’s how our Premium Credit Cards and Charge Cards could enhance your lifestyle.
Aside from allowing you to make purchases and pay at a later date, Premium Credit Cards and Charge Cards offer prestigious perks and rewards – ideal if you enjoy the finer things in life. These Cards can therefore have a higher annual fee than other Cards.
Travel privileges, more rewards, and personalised service – these are just
some of the things you could enjoy as a Premium Credit Card or Charge Card holder.
The Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card and The Platinum Card® allow you to earn 1 Membership Rewards point for every £1 spent, but certain spending with these Premium Cards can help you accumulate more rewards at a faster rate. For example, you could earn more when making airline, non-sterling or American Express Travel purchases with the Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card, or when spending at American Express Travel Online with The Platinum Card. Our British Airways American Express® Premium Plus Card earns you 1.5 Avios for every £1 spent on purchases, and this increases to 3 Avios for every £1 spent on British Airways or BA Holidays. Find more details about enhanced point
earning on the Card pages. With a Premium Card, you can make the most of personalised
services like 24/7 Platinum Concierge with The Platinum Card – whether you need to adjust your travel arrangements or make a dinner booking.
Small business owner? Our Platinum Business Card boasts a range services to suit your needs – from extended payment days to no pre-set spending limit.
You could also make the most of American Express Experiences® to catch some of the best shows in town. Priority tickets are reserved exclusively for our Cardmembers. Whether your passion is music, film or theatre, we can get you closer to the action.
Depending on which American Express Premium Card you choose, you could look forward to:
