Regardless of how you like to spend your time, treat yourself and discover new shows, news and recipes on Disney+, The Disney Bundle, ESPN+, Hulu, The New York Times, Peacock, and The Wall Street Journal.

If you’re a self-proclaimed foodie and live for discovering new restaurants, the Platinum Card has you covered. With the Platinum Card, you can unlock access to exclusive reservations and special dining experiences with Global Dining Access by Resy when you add your Card to your Resy profile.
With Global Dining Access, you’ll receive:
- Exclusive Reservations: Primetime tables at sought-after restaurants, held just for you.
- Priority Notify: When tables open up, you’ll be the first to know.

Ride and Dine in Style with $200 Uber Cash
And for the nights you’re craving some takeout or need a ride to dinner, you can ride and dine in style with $15 in Uber Cash each month, plus a bonus $20 in December, for rides and eats orders in the U.S. That’s up to $200 for Uber orders with Uber Eats and rides with Uber annually.
You’ll also become an Uber VIP, where available, without meeting minimum ride requirements and be matched with top-rated drivers, so that even a 5-minute trip can be a 5-star experience. Effective 11/8/2024, an Amex Card must be selected as the payment method for your Uber or Uber Eats transaction to redeem the Amex Uber Cash benefit.
More Ways to Pay with Platinum
And lastly, with the Platinum Card, you’re in control of how you pay. You can choose to:
- Pay your balance in full each month.
- Use the Pay Over Time feature to carry a balance, with interest, up to your Pay Over Time limit.
- Use Plan It® to select large purchases of $100 or more and split them into equal monthly payments with a fixed fee.
Keep in mind there is a limit on the total amount that you can carry as a balance or move into a plan with Plan It. Any purchases beyond your limit will need to be paid in full when your bill is due.1
The Takeaway
If you thought The Platinum Card was strictly a premium travel card, think again. With a suite of everyday lifestyle benefits, Platinum supports you in the life you love to live, from every moment spent at home to every second on the go.
