What Is A Charge Card?
A charge card comes with flexible spending power, meaning you have no pre-set spending limit. This means that the amount you can spend is dynamic and can adapt based on your transaction patterns, your credit rating and other factors. The way you use your Card can help your spending power grow, particularly in the first few months. To help maximise your spending power, you can make regular transactions and avoid missing any payments.
Having no pre-set spending limit offers extra flexibility to those who need it. In addition, the full balance must be paid for each statement cycle, whereas with a credit card, you could make the minimum payment + interest each month.
Amex Platinum Metal Card Design
The Amex Platinum Card comes with a distinctive, sleek metal design for both primary and additional Card Members. Apart from the invite-only Centurion card, the Amex Platinum Card is one of the few metal cards available in Australia.

Amex Platinum Points Transfer Partners
One of the biggest strengths of holding a card that earns American Express Membership Rewards Points is the enormous flexibility. In fact, Membership Rewards currently offers the most transfer partners of any flexible rewards program in Australia.

Amex Platinum Card Members can transfer their Membership Rewards Points to over 10 Travel Partner Programs, including Qantas Frequent Flyer, Velocity Frequent Flyer, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, Cathay Asia Miles, and more.

$450 Annual Travel Credit
For each year you hold the Amex Platinum Card, you will receive a $450 travel credit, which can be used to book flights, hotels and car rentals via Amex Travel. The main benefits of booking with Amex Travel are that you will not pay any credit card fees, plus you also get bonus points. More complex travel itineraries can be harder to price up online, but I find that A to B flights are always the same price compared to booking direct, and you save on credit card surcharges applied by airlines and travel agencies.
Note that the travel credit must be used in its entirety. If not, you'll forfeit the difference.
How The Travel Credit Works
If your Card has a Travel Credit benefit, the Primary Card Member is eligible for an annual Travel Credit. The Travel Credit can be redeemed through American Express Travel Online on a single eligible travel booking by selecting the Travel Credit when you check out.
To redeem the Travel Credit, the full value of the Travel Credit (or more) must be charged to the eligible Primary Card. Eligible travel includes flights, hotels and car hire when you prepay in advance. The Travel Credit can be used for 365 days from the benefit anniversary date and cannot be used past the expiration date.
To check the expiration date of your Travel Credit if you have not already redeemed it, visit americanexpress.com.au/travel, log in and click ‘Travel Credit’.
If your booking is cancelled, and your Travel Credit has already been used with a statement credit applied to your account, you will forfeit your annual Travel Credit benefit, and American Express may reverse the statement credits issued.
You need to be able to spend on the Card to access the Travel Credit benefit and it should be credited to your Card Account within 3 business days but may take up to 30 days. Your account must be in good standing and you must have paid the annual fee and minimum payment by the due date.
If you cancel your Card, change your rewards program or Card type, you will no longer be eligible for the Travel Credit.
Up To $400 Dining Credit Each Year
Each year, Amex Platinum Card Members will receive up to $400 worth of dining credits.
The dining credit will be split into 2; this means you get $200 credit at a range of restaurants in Australia and $200 at selected venues around the world. The list and countries are extensive and include over 2,000 restaurants across 20 countries. Each restaurant is hand-selected by the American Express Platinum team. You can see the full list of participating restaurants here. This benefit has been extended and will run until December 31, 2026
- $200 Dining Credit: To be used each year at participating Australian restaurants
- $200 Dining Credit: To be used at participating international restaurants
Priority Pass Lounge Access
No airline status? No problem! Priority Pass is a global network of more than 1,800 airport lounges that offer access to its members based on a paid subscription. Fortunately for Amex Platinum Card Members, Priority Pass is free and unlimited (with the exception of Priority Pass Restaurants).
To further maximise the value, you can gift a second priority pass membership to one of your additional Platinum Card Members ( you can have 4 additional Card Members in total).
As part of the membership, you can also take a guest with you so in total you could get lounge access for up to 4 people when travelling together.
To enrol into Priority Pass you just need to call Amex on 1800 673 760 (option 3) since it’s not available online. The Priority Pass membership is valued at $531 per annum.
Virgin Australia Domestic Lounge Access
Your shiny Amex Platinum Card also acts as your membership card to all the Virgin Australia domestic lounges. This is unlimited, and you can take 1 guest in with you. This benefit is limited to the primary Card holder.
Annual Virgin Lounge memberships retail $420 + a $330 joining fee so we’ll value this benefit somewhere in the middle. Of course, you will need to be flying with Virgin Australia to take advantage of this benefit.
ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership
The Amex Platinum Card now comes with a complimentary ALL Accor+ Explorer membership (primary Card Member only). Personally, I would pay for this each year, so it’s a great addition. I wrote an ALL Accor+ Explorer Ultimate guide here so go check that out for the full details. Essentially you get two ‘Stay Plus’ complimentary nights (each complimentary night must be booked in conjunction with a paid night) at over 1,300 participating hotels in Asia Pacific, 30% off your food bill for up to 10 people at over 1600 restaurants and instant Accor ALL Gold status with a bonus 30 nights. Another perk of the membership is 15% off drinks in the Asia Pacific + much more. The ALL Accor+ Explorer membership would normally cost $349 per year but is included as part of your Amex Platinum Membership!
The complimentary nights can be redeemed for properties that easily go for $400+ a night, so it’s a win-win, add dinner for 2 to your hotel bill (30% discount), and you will easily save another $100 on that too.
Amex Platinum Travel
The Amex Platinum Card also has access to the Platinum Travel Service team. This is a service exclusive to Platinum Card customers, and the reason I’m mentioning this benefit here is because they can get discounted business and first-class tickets for Card Members.
On a recent quote I got for Qatar Airways, Amex Platinum Travel came back with a fare that was $400 cheaper compared to the cheapest I could find on Google Flights.
Fine Hotels + Resorts
Amex FH&R is a luxury travel program for over 1,800 iconic 5-star properties worldwide. It’s only available to Platinum Card Members and offers additional benefits such as guaranteed 4PM checkout, complimentary breakfast for two, upgrades (subject to availability) and special amenities at each property, such as US$100 food and beverage credit or massage for two.
The benefits vary between properties, but for those that seek out unique 5-star properties, it’s a win-win most of the time. I’m saying “most of the time” because of course you should always compare the prices to other booking sites and see if you’re actually getting a benefit by booking through FH&R. It’s similar to Virtuoso but more seamless since you can book online and the benefits are usually guaranteed (such as the 4PM late checkout).
Benefits Summary:
- 12pm check-in, when available
- Room upgrade on arrival, when available
- Complimentary daily breakfast for two
- US$100 credit per stay, unique to each property
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Guaranteed 4pm check-out
The Hotel Collection
The Hotel Collection is a similar program to Amex FHR, but usually features a range of different properties. Amex Platinum Card Members get up to USD$100 hotel credit on qualifying charges and a room upgrade if available when you book The Hotel Collection through American Express Travel. The only catch is that it’s valid for bookings of 2 nights or more. You can research the available properties when logged into your Amex account and by clicking the “book travel online” link.
Hotel Elite Status
The Amex Platinum Card comes with a bunch of instant elite status for a few hotels. Here’s what you get:
- Hilton Honors Gold Status:Typically you will get upgrades to better rooms (provided there’s availability), and as part of your gold status, you also get complimentary breakfast (at most Hilton brands).
- Marriott Bonvoy Gold: Once you get the Amex Platinum Card, you can apply for Bonvoy Gold which should get you better upgrades, early and late checkout and better earn rates.
- Radisson Rewards Premium Status: Probably the least valuable hotel status, this one gives you a discount on food and beverages, free water in the room and a welcome gift as well as room upgrades where available.
The American Express Global Lounge Collection
American Express now has its own lounges in both Sydney and Melbourne, as a Platinum Card holder you get unlimited access for both yourself, additional Card Members + 1 guest to The Centurion Lounge.
You will also get complimentary access to international Centurion Lounges, a large number are found in the U.S, and there’s also a brand new one in Hong Kong.
Delta Skyclub
When travelling with Delta airlines, both the primary and additional Card Members get access to the Delta Skyclub.
Lufthansa Lounges
Platinum Card Members now get access to both the Munich and Frankfurt lounges. Both Business class lounges and Senator Lounges are up for grabs if you meet the following conditions: Lufthansa Business Lounges when flying in any class with Lufthansa, Swissair and Austrian Airlines. Lufthansa Senator Lounges when flying in Business class with Lufthansa, Swissair and Austrian Airlines.
Please note: effective 1 October 2026, Eligible Card Members will no longer have access to Lufthansa Lounges through the Global Lounge Collection benefit. Eligible Card Members will continue to have access to Lufthansa Lounges up until 30 September 2026.
Car Rental Elite Programs
Your Amex Platinum Card also comes with a couple of elite memberships to both Hertz and Avis.
- Hertz Gold Plus Five Star: This membership offers free upgrades (based on availability) and priority car collection. In addition to your status, there’s also a Platinum Charge coupon code to reduce the total cost of your rental.
- Avis Preferred: This membership offers members perks on rentals.
Amex Platinum Card Insurance
The American Express Platinum Card comes with some of the most comprehensive travel insurance policies attached to a charge card. In addition to travel insurance, it also comes with comprehensive car rental insurance and Smartphone Screen Cover (I’ve personally used this multiple times already; easy claims process and the claimed amount was paid within days). As always, it’s hard to go into detail when it comes to insurance since everyone’s circumstances are different.
Therefore I would highly recommend you spend 15 mins reading through the PDS to see if it’s suitable for you. The Amex Platinum Card now also covers up to 4 additional Card Members, so it’s no longer just your immediate family/spouse that are covered.
This is a great benefit as you can now extend an additional card to friends or family members. Keep in mind that you are required to book your return tickets using the Card to be fully covered by insurance.
Amex Platinum Card Downsides
Apart from the hefty annual fee, there are a few other things that could be improved upon. For example, the 3.5% surcharge when spending in foreign currencies seems excessive considering this is a Card for those who travel a lot. It’s slightly offset by the 2.25 points per dollar earn rate overseas, but ideally, we would like to see no FX rates on this Card.
Maximising The Additional Cards
There’s a good reason for Amex to limit additional Cards to only 4 (of course there is no cost to adding additional Cards) on the Amex Platinum Card and that’s because they get pretty much all the same benefits as the primary cardholder. That includes most hotel statuses and lounge access plus insurances.
Note: Only 1 additional Card Holder gets Priority Pass while Accor Plus is limited to the Primary Card holder only.
Amex Experiences App
Amex Platinum Card Members get access to the Amex Experiences App which highlights the Card benefits and features and gives notifications about exclusive ticket pre-sales as well as information on which restaurants you can book to redeem your dining credit. The app is available via Google Play and the Apple App Store.
Amex Platinum Card In Conclusion
As you can see, there are plenty of benefits that justify the high annual fee for this Card. That being said, it certainly isn’t for everyone, especially if you don’t travel or see no value in lounge access, hotel status etc. Especially for the first year, this Card is an absolute no-brainer if you’re remotely interested in luxury travel thanks to the fantastic welcome offer!
