Up to $200 Annual Airline Fee Credit
Each calendar year, you’ll be able to receive up to $200 in statement credits for incidental fees charged by your selected airline, such as checked bags and inflight refreshments. This fee credit does not apply to airfare.
Note that statement credits are per calendar year when incidental fees are charged by the airline to your Card or any of the Additional Cards on your Platinum Card account.
Airport Lounge Access
Having access to an airport lounge can do wonders on a busy travel day. Whether you enjoy having a quiet workspace, complimentary food and drink, or even premium amenities like a shower room, you’ll love the lounges you’ll be able to access with your card.
The American Express Global Lounge Collection features over 1,400 airport lounges across 130 countries worldwide, including Amex Centurion Lounges, International Centurion Lounges, Escape Lounges – The Centurion Studio Partner, Plaza Premium Lounges, Airspace Lounge, select Virgin Clubhouses, select Lufthansa lounges when flying with Lufthansa Group the same day, and Delta Sky Clubs when flying with Delta the same day.
You’ll also enjoy a complimentary Priority Pass Select membership upon enrollment. Just note that Priority Pass memberships from U.S.-issued American Express cards no longer include restaurants (“non-lounge airport experiences”).
Access to these lounges could cost hundreds of dollars if purchased separately, so this benefit is incredibly valuable.
TSA PreCheck or Global Entry Fee Credit
Enjoying expedited security is a nice perk to have when traveling on business. It’s even better when it doesn’t affect your bottom line.
You’ll receive a fee reimbursement for a TSA PreCheck or a Global Entry fee that’s charged to your Amex Business Platinum card. Plus, this benefit extends to additional cards on your account!
CLEAR Plus Credit
Cardmembers can zip through security screenings at select U.S. airports and sporting events with an up to $189 annual statement credit for CLEAR Plus membership.

Car Rental Insurance
When you pay for your entire rental with your Amex Business Platinum card and decline the coverage offered by the car rental agency, you’ll be covered if your rental car is damaged or stolen. This coverage doesn’t cover damage to other vehicles or any injuries.
