Platinum Member Airfares

Discount

Reduced fares on select premium-cabin international tickets with 30+ airlines through Amex Travel, for you and up to 7 companions

Airline Fee Credit

$200/yr

You can receive credits for incidental airline fees, but only after choosing a single eligible airline and only for charges that the airline bills separately from tickets. Checked bags, in flight snacks, change fees, lounge day passes, and pet charges qualify. Tickets, upgrades, gift cards, mileage purchases, and duty free items do not. The credit caps at 200 dollars per year per account, so selecting your airline early is essential.

Pro Tips

  1. 1Log in to your account and choose your airline early so eligible fees count.
  2. 2Use the credit for smaller incidentals rather than airfare.
  3. 3You can switch airlines in January, but only once per year, but data points have shown some customer service reps allow you to change again.
