The Amex Platinum card offers premium travel perks, including airport lounge access and hotel upgrades, but recent changes in 2023/2024 require savvy users to unlock maximum value. Frequent travelers can now earn 5x points on flights booked directly with airlines or through Amex Travel, potentially saving hundreds on a $2,000 round-trip ticket to Europe. Understanding the updated benefits – like the $200 hotel credit and Centurion Lounge access – is key to maximizing this $695 annual fee card.
