I agreed. Between P2 and I, we also have 7 Platinum plus 2 Gold. Perfect timing with the Resy credit, LoL. There's a steak/seafood Resy restaurant nearby that we�re excited to try. If anyone knows of a great FHR property for a weekend getaway in eastern North Carolina or norther South Carolina, please share! We haven�t done much domestic travel lately, and we don�t have any international trips planned for the rest of 2025.

Overall, I thought this was a good refresh by Amex.

According to View from the Wing:

American Express confirmed that the only change is taht �the $600 is to be used $300 semiannually (Jan � Jun/Jul � Dec)� and that �if you already used the $200 credit for this year, you will now also have access to the $300 credit for the remainder of the year� to use on �a new booking.� It doesn�t matter if you used your $200 benefit in the first or second half of the year. So hopefully you already did that, and now also get this $300!

I believe it is an addition. The original Uber cash stays as-is. This new credit will cover an Uber One "Membership" as long as you pay with your Plat card.

Just noticed my meter for the hotel credit is at $0 for the year even though I've used the $200 credit already. Looks like a brand new $300 credit for everyone.

Is it confirmed that we need to use the first quarterly credits in the next week and a half to get them?

Edit: let me rephrase. I know that the quarter ends at the end of the month, so I guess my question is, do we get the credit this quarter even though the updates were just announced? It just seems kind of odd timing.

Just wanted to ask ... can the 3rd quarter Lulu and Resy credits be used this month?

The AMEX site shows $0 earned right now for RESY and Lulumon in the benefit tracker, I assume that means it is currently available to use.

Signing up for the Leaders Club Status, my request got rejected. This was due to my AMEX email address being different from my Leaders Club email address.
The reject message tells you to call Leaders Club for assistance which I did. They seemed to be clueless. I requested the leaders club change my email address to match my AMEX email address.
Once they changed it, I was able to submit the request on the AMEX site, it takes up to 72 hours to process. (You will get a password reset email from Leaders Club when you do this)

Any cardholder TODAY can use any of the new credits NOW - or at least that is what most influencer travel sites are reporting.. so get yourself some new leggings before 9/30/25.

;-)

The digital entertainment credit now covers YouTube Premium and YouTube TV. Looks like I'll be cancelling Disney+ and switching it to YouTube Premium.

For those that didn't notice, Digital Entertainment Credit is now $300/yr ($25/month), up from $240 ($20/month). Good for those streaming plan price increases..

‡Benefit Terms

$400 Resy Credit

Enrollment through American Express is required to receive this benefit. Only the Basic Card Member or Authorized Account Manager(s) on a U.S. Consumer Platinum Card� Account can enroll in the benefit in the Benefits section of their americanexpress.com online account or by calling the number on the back of their Card. Purchases by both the enrolled Basic Card Member and Additional Card Members on the eligible Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, statement credits will be provided for only up to $100 in statement credits each quarter for a total of up to $400 per calendar year in statement credits per Card Account.

Eligible Resy purchases include purchases made directly from U.S. restaurants that offer reservations on Resy.com and the Resy app and accept American Express� Cards, purchases made directly on Resy.com or in the Resy app, and purchases made via Resy Pay. Restaurants must be live on Resy.com or the Resy app at time of purchase to be eligible for the statement credit and are subject to change at any time. Purchases of Resy OS restaurant management software, and Resy-branded American Express� Gift Cards are not eligible. Gift cards purchased at restaurants or purchases made on-site at events when the restaurant uses a third-party to process or submit the transaction to American Express (e.g. restaurant invites an outside merchant/non-Resy restaurant to sell goods at the event) also may not receive the statement credit.

Please allow up to 8 weeks after an eligible Resy purchase is charged to the enrolled Card Account for statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account. Please call the number on the back of the Card if statement credits have not posted after 8 weeks from the date of purchase. American Express relies on the merchant's processing of transactions to determine the transaction date. If there is a delay in the merchant submitting the transaction to American Express or if the merchant uses another date as the transaction date, then you may not earn the statement credit benefit for the benefit period in which you made the purchase. For example, if an eligible purchase is made on December 31st but the merchant processes the transaction such that it is identified to us as occurring on January 1st , the statement credit for the next semi-annual period would be applied if available. If you have transferred to a different Card at the time the merchant submits the transaction, you may not receive the statement credit. Statement credit(s) may not be received or may be reversed if an eligible purchase is returned, refunded, cancelled, or modified.

American Express also relies on information provided to us by the merchant to identify eligible purchases. If American Express does not receive information that identifies the transaction as an eligible purchase, the Account will not receive the statement credit. For example, the transaction may not be eligible if: it is not made directly with the merchant, it is made at a merchant located within another establishment (e.g. a restaurant inside a hotel or department store), it is for a non-dining purchase (e.g. Resy-branded American Express� gift cards or merchandise that features Resy branding or is sold at Resy restaurants), the merchant uses a third-party to process or submit the transaction to American Express (e.g. using mobile or wireless card readers), or you make a purchase using a third-party (e.g. a third-party payment platform or food delivery service).

If the Card Account is cancelled or past due, it may not qualify to receive a statement credit. If American Express, in its sole discretion, determines that you have engaged in or intend to engage in any manner of abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with this benefit, American Express will not have an obligation to provide statement credits and may reverse any statement credits provided to you. If your Card is enrolled in the benefit and you replace your Card, please check the Benefits section of your americanexpress.com account, mobile app or call the number on the back of your Card to confirm your continued enrollment in the benefit. If a charge for an eligible purchase is included in a Pay Over Time balance on your Card Account, the statement credit associated with that charge may not be applied to that Pay Over Time balance. Instead, the statement credit may be applied to your Pay In Full balance. For additional information, call the number on the back of your Card.

Participating properties and their availability are subject to change.

Please refer to AmericanExpress.com/FHR and AmericanExpress.com/HC for more information about Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection, respectively.

The digital entertainment credit is now $300, up from $240.

And this:

And it looks like for those of us who had already used this year's $200 hotel credit, the meter has reset and we get an additional $300 to use by the end of the year. I can't confirm what happens for people who hadn't yet used the $200, but presumably they would just get their unused benefit increased by $100 to the new $300 value.

And the digital entertainment credit now includes YouTube subscriptions (Premium, Music, and/or TV).

And most importantly:

Annual Membership Fee
