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 $219 CLEAR+ Credit: CLEAR+ helps get you to your gate faster by using your face to verify you are you at 55+ airports nationwide.

• With over 1,550 airport lounges - more than any other credit card company on the market* - enjoy the benefits of the Global Lounge Collection, over $850 of annual value, with access to Centurion Lounges, 10 Delta Sky Club visits (subject to visit limitations) when flying on an eligible Delta flight, Priority Pass™ membership (enrollment required), and other select partner lounges. *As of 01/2026

• 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, and a $155 Walmart+ Credit: Get up to a $12.95* statement credit back each month after you pay for a monthly Walmart+ membership (subject to auto-renewal) with your Platinum Card®. *Up to $12.95 plus applicable taxes on one membership fee.

• 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.
