Revamped Amex Platinum Cards Are Live
American Express today unveiled major enhancements to its U.S. Consumer and Business Platinum Cards and also increased the annual fee by $200.
Available immediately, the updated Platinum Cards now offer expanded lifestyle and business benefits which American Express values at $3,500 annually. There’s also a limited-edition mirror card design.
U.S. Consumer Platinum Card® Members get new credits for Resy, lululemon, Uber One Membership, and enhancements to existing hotel and digital entertainment credits. U.S. Business Platinum Card® Members get a new hotel credit and 2X Membership Rewards® points on key business purchases, and unlock additional statement credits that can be used in the following year worth up to $3,600 after spending $250,000 in a calendar year.
The new annual fee for each of the U.S. Consumer and Business Platinum Cards is $895. But existing cardmembers can enjoy the new benefits while still paying the lower annual fee for a couple of months. For Card Members who opened accounts before September 18, 2025, the new annual fee will go into effect at their next renewal date on or after December 2, 2025 (U.S. Business Platinum) or January 2, 2026 (U.S. Consumer Platinum).
