Here is a follow up to the news about the annual travel credit for The Platinum Card from American Express. We ourselves had reached out to Amex for more details and here is the response. This should answer some of the questions we have received from our readers:
Confirming a change has recently been announced to the Platinum Card travel credit, which now sees CMs receiving the credit annually on the date of their account anniversary, instead of every January 1st. The change ensures that each CM has 12 months to use their travel credit as soon as they get their Platinum Card.
Current Cardmembers will see this change implemented on January 1, 2019. Those who have not yet used their 2018 credit are still able to redeem it until December 31, 2018. New Cardmembers as of October 2, 2018 will automatically receive the credit on the date of their account anniversary.
Tier #1: Get $15 in extra value (15,000 PC Optimum points) when you redeem 60,000 - 120,000 PC Optimum points; Tier #2: Get $45 in extra value (45,000 PC Optimum points) when you redeem 130,000 - 240,000 PC Optimum points; Tier #3: Get $100 in extra value (100,000 PC Optimum points) when you redeem 250,000 - 500,000 PC Optimum points
American Express Cobalt Cardmembers can receive a $25 statement credit when they spend $125 in-store at a Levis store. If you got the email you are automatically registered for it.
