Overview

• American Express signaled a September 18 announcement for major updates to both personal and Business Platinum Cards.
• Starting September 18, the Business Platinum’s 35% Pay With Points rebate applies only to flights on the single U.S. airline a cardholder selects for the card’s airline fee credit.
• Cardholders have roughly one week to book premium-cabin tickets across carriers via Amex Travel under the current, broader rebate rules.
• Reporting points to unconfirmed changes including a larger Fine Hotels + Resorts credit of about $600 per year and an annual fee near $895.
• Amex previously tightened other Business Platinum perks, with new restrictions on Dell and Adobe credits effective July 1, reflecting a broader rework of premium-card benefits.
