AMEX PLATINUM CARD

AMEX in my opinion is the best credit card company out there. No pre-set limits, no interest, and a worldwide network make AMEX stand out. Granted that they are not accepted as much as other cards but its benefits are much...

Delving into the world of charge cards, I decided upon an American Express Card. My new Platinum Card was mailed in a nice "wallet" type package, with all of the information organized into a neat presentation. I called, and activated my card, with a...

Pros: Excellent benefits if you take advantage of them
Cons: Benefits marketing can be misleading

The Platinum Card is not for everyone. The annual fee is pricey. However, if you use the Card frequently, the savings and benefits can exceed the cost of the annual fee.

Personally, the benefits and savings have more than made up for cost the...

Cons: Annual Fee, Agents sometimes not as knowledgeable as they should be

As someone who has worked in the credit card industry (not for AMEX) I can tell you that despite its hefty $450 annual fee the benefits of the American Express Platinum card are unparalleled. The key is knowing all the benefits that the card ...

Cons: None that I can think of

I have been an Amex cardholder for 11 years and a Platinum cardholder for the last four. Prior to having the Platinum card, I was a Gold card holder. There is no real point to holding the Gold card over a regular green card, however the Platinum card...

Cons: High (!!) annual fee

A lot has been written about the advertised benefits of the American Express Platinum Card, however, I have found some of the unadvertised benefits just as exciting. As a semi-stay-at-home mom, I still get my money's worth from this card. ...

Pros: Prestige, no credit limit
Cons: Expensive annual fee

Probably one of the most prestigious credit card EVER! You can always count on the ooos and the ahhhs when you pull out your platinum Amex to pay for your shopping, your food, etc.. Only probably is its absurd annual fee - $300!! Some benefits you get...

Pros: Exceptional benefits
Cons: $300 annual fee

I upgraded to Platinum when my job required extensive travel and presentations. The Platinum Travel and Concierge handled almost all of my arrangements, including my meeting rooms, with just a toll-free phone call. The level of service is truly...
