With perks like elite hotel status and airport lounge access, the American Express Platinum Card® is one of TPG's favorite cards for frequent travelers.
That's not all. The card also offers additional statement credits beyond travel perks, enhancing its value and offsetting the $895 annual fee (see rates and fees).
For instance, you can get up to $100 in Saks Fifth Avenue statement credits awarded every calendar year — the first up to $50 from January to June and the other up to $50 in the second half of the year. (Enrollment is required.)
