We’re big fans of American Express Membership Rewards points. The Platinum Card from American Express is a standout, not just for its travel perks but also for a whole slew of useful credits.

Some of the benefits:

• For starters, you’ll get up to $200 Airline Fee Credit: Select one qualifying airline and then receive up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year when incidental fees, such as checked bags and in-flight refreshments, are charged by the airline to the Platinum Card® Account. Plus up to $209 CLEAR+ Credit: CLEAR+ helps get you to your gate faster by using your face to verify you are you at 55+ airports nationwide.

• You’ll also unlock access to the American Express Global Lounge Collection®, over $850 of annual value, with access to Centurion Lounges, 10 complimentary Delta Sky Club® visits when flying on an eligible Delta flight (subject to visit limitations), Priority Pass Select membership (enrollment required), and other select partner lounges.* As of 07/2025.

• The card is stacked with monthly and annual credits, too. Think up to $75 quarterly credits at Lululemon, up to $15 in Uber Cash each month, plus a bonus $20 in December, $155 Walmart+ Credit: Receive a statement credit* for one monthly Walmart+ membership (subject to auto-renewal) after you pay for Walmart+ each month with the Platinum Card®.*

• This card earns 5X points on flights that are purchased directly from airlines or through American Express Travel® (on up to $500,000 on these purchases per calendar year) and 1x on most other purchases.
