Amex Platinum Cardholders Receiving $50 “Saks Benefit Goodwill” Credit
Some American Express Platinum cardholders are reporting a surprise $50 “Saks Benefit Goodwill” statement credit appearing on their accounts.
The credit comes just after the Saks Fifth Avenue benefit officially ended on June 30. So far, there doesn’t appear to be any official explanation from American Express, and the credit is only showing up for select cardholders.

It’s also unclear what determines eligibility. I thought maybe the credit is being issued to cardholders who didn’t use their Saks credit in 2026, but there are reports of members receiving the goodwill credit despite already using their Saks benefit earlier this year.
At this point, it’s unknown whether this is a targeted gesture or a broader rollout that’s still in progress. If you have an Amex Platinum Card, it may be worth checking your recent transactions and look for a “Saks Benefit Goodwill” statement credit.
Let us know in the comments if you see this credit in your accounts.
