Hey AwardTrailblazers! Let's talk about one of the sweetest perks of the American Express Platinum Card: the digital entertainment credit. You get up to $300 a year back, which helps soften the blow of that hefty $895 annual fee. Think of it as basically getting free money for stuff you probably already use!
So, how does it work? It's doled out monthly, so you can get up to $25 back each month on eligible purchases. This includes subscriptions to things like Audible, Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu, Peacock, SiriusXM, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Just make sure you pay for these services with your Amex Platinum card!
Why should you care? Well, if you're already paying for any of these streaming or media services, you're essentially getting them for free (or at a heavily discounted rate) thanks to this credit. It's a fantastic way to offset the annual fee and get some serious value from your Platinum card. Plus, who doesn't love free entertainment?
This perk can make the Amex Platinum card a no-brainer if you use at least a few of the services listed. Be sure to track your monthly spending to make the most of this awesome benefit!
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.
