Also: Can you get through airport security without an ID? March 15, 2024 [THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily NEWSLETTER]( [THE POINTS GUY]( How to save big with the Amex Plat by Sean Cudahy, Aviation Reporter [TPG | Hero Image] Each year when [The Platinum Card® from American Express']( annual fee of $695 (see [rates and fees]( hits, I naturally wonder whether I’m getting enough value from the card to justify the expense. Some quick math put that question to rest last year. I managed to rack up more than $1,800 in direct cash savings in 2023 thanks to my [Amex Platinum](  — about 2 1/2 times the card’s annual fee. I took advantage of the separate $200 [hotel]( and [airline fee]( credits and received a statement credit of $100 for renewing my [Global Entry membership](. I used the $15 monthly Uber credit (plus the additional $20 in December) by either taking rides or placing Uber Eats orders for an additional $200 in savings. Plus, I got back $20 monthly in digital entertainment credits, offsetting portions of my subscriptions to Hulu, Peacock, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. My wife and I saved hundreds more at hotels, too, using Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts property credits and earning a $200 statement credit thanks to an Amex Member Week offer we activated and met; it essentially covered my on-property birthday dinner last November at the JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa. That $1,800-plus in savings doesn’t account for airport lounge access and automatic Hilton and Marriott elite status — or the immense value of earning and redeeming Membership Rewards points. Enrollment is required for select benefits. For instance, [you can earn 80,000 points]( after spending $8,000 in the first six months of card membership — a welcome offer [TPG values]( at $1,600. Select TPG readers may be targeted for up to a [150,000-point welcome offer through CardMatch]( valued at $3,000 by TPG. Here are some tips for getting maximum value with one of my favorite travel cards: - [Amex Platinum card review: High annual fee with loads of perks]( - [How to check if you’re targeted for 150K Amex Platinum offer or 90K Amex Gold offer via CardMatch]( - [How to redeem American Express Membership Rewards for maximum value]( - [How to maximize benefits with the Amex Platinum Card]( Posts in this newsletter contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers.
