What Is the Amex Business Platinum Card Dell Credit?

The Amex Business Platinum card offers statement credits to its cardholders each year. These include credits from Indeed, Adobe, and — you guessed it — Dell.

Cardholders can enroll and get up to $1,150 in annual statement credits for U.S. purchases directly with Dell Technologies in 2 parts. The first is an up to $150 annual statement credit. The second is an additional $1,000 statement credit after you spend $5,000 or more on your card within a calendar year. These expire every year and must be redeemed, or else you lose the credit.

Now let’s talk about those gifts.

Travel Backpack

We’re big fans of travel here at Upgraded Points, which is why we’re starting strong with the
Alienware 18 Backpack
. At $129.99 (on sale), this well-reviewed bag offers ample compartments to accommodate all your belongings and comes in just under the $150 annual statement credit.

Battery Bank

Dead batteries are never fun, especially when you need your phone for Google Maps, finding your hotel, and making contactless payments. That’s why a portable battery is at the top of many travelers’ lists.

The Targus 100W USB-C Portable Power Bank is lightweight with flexible charging, offering USB-A and USB-C plugs with protection from overcharging and overheating.

Portable Monitor

A portable monitor is essential if you’re one of the many who drag their work with them wherever they go. Dell’s portable monitor ranges from 14 inches to 27 inches, though the latter may be tough to fit into a backpack. The 14-inch monitor is $369.99 and just as portable as a laptop.

Xbox Controllers

Dell products aren’t limited to computer-related accessories and technology. Anyone digging deep into its catalog will be able to spot some really interesting options, including gift cards, VR headsets, and products for gamers. This includes wireless Xbox controllers, which are a must-have for Xbox gamers.

Nintendo Switch OLED

It’s a rare opportunity to save $150 or more on a Nintendo Switch console with controllers. This model has a 7-inch OLED screen and 64GB of internal storage.

After you apply the $150 Dell credit using your Amex Business Platinum card, a new Nintendo Switch costs less than $200.

PlayStation 5 Console

Dell doesn’t just do gaming accessories. The $150 Dell credit won’t fully cover the cost of a Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition Slim Console, but saving $150 or more is sure to ease the pain.

Hot Tip:

Use a shopping portal such as Rakuten to get up to 10% back on your Dell purchases!

Portable Speaker

Dell’s website actually has a few options for Bluetooth speakers, but the JBL Go 4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker System is among our favorites thanks to its affordable price and the fact that it’s waterproof and well-reviewed.

Ring Video Doorbell

Who wants to get off the couch to see who’s knocking at their door? We don’t, which is why we’ve invested in a Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 (thanks, Dell credits!), which allows you to record motion, receive visitors, and answer calls — all without the need to lift a toe.

Fitbit Watch

Fitbit invented the smart fitness watch, and its technology shows. Although competitors such as Samsung, and Apple provide fitness data on their watches, Fitbit’s long tenure means its products are well-developed and trustworthy. You’ll find a range of Fitbit watches on Dell’s site, but the Fitbit Versa 4 makes the most of the $150 Dell credit.

Gaming Headset

A dependable headset is a must if you’re a serious gamer. A high-quality headset is more than just an accessory for gamers; it’s a tool that boosts performance, comfort, and overall gameplay.

The Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset increases your gaming experience and provides useful advantages, including a built-in microphone and noise-blocking.

The Dell Inspiron 15 series is an excellent choice for a teenager’s first laptop. This laptop, priced at just $399.99, is ideal for students, making it simple to tackle schoolwork, surf the web, and enjoy streaming content. The battery life of 6 to 8 hours ensures your favorite student can use it nearly a full school day without interruptions.
