Here is a follow up to the news about the annual travel credit for The Platinum Card from American Express. We ourselves had reached out to Amex for more details and here is the
response. This should answer some of the questions we have received from
our readers:
Confirming a change has recently been announced to the Platinum
Card travel credit, which now sees CMs receiving the credit annually on
the date of their account anniversary, instead of every January 1st. The
change ensures that each CM has 12 months to use their travel credit as
soon as they get their Platinum Card.
Current Cardmembers will see this change implemented on January
1, 2019. Those who have not yet used their 2018 credit are still able to
redeem it until December 31, 2018. New Cardmembers as of October 2,
2018 will automatically receive the credit on the date of their account
anniversary.
