Hey award trail blazers! Good news for all you Amex Platinum cardholders: your annual $100 Saks Fifth Avenue credit just reset! This is basically free money twice a year ($50 each half) to spend at Saks, and who doesn’t love a little retail therapy?

Now, Saks can be a bit pricey, but don't let that scare you off. There are tons of great ways to use the credit without breaking the bank. Think smaller beauty products, fancy socks, or even a high-end candle. The key is to find something you'd actually use and enjoy, and remember to factor in any shipping costs.

Why does this matter to you? Well, if you're already paying that annual fee for the Amex Platinum, you want to squeeze every last drop of value out of it, right? This Saks credit is one of the easiest perks to use, so make sure you're not leaving money on the table! Get shopping!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
