How to maximize the elite status benefits from The Platinum Card from American Express

With the return of the Wyndham Rewards status match (and subsequently the Caesars Rewards match) we have updated our guide on How to maximize the elite status benefits from The Platinum Card from American Express. This piece looks at how you can take the automatic elite status provided on the card and extend it to other programs to have status with upwards of 15 programs! Check it out here.

New Amex Offers statement credits for lululemon & Luxury Escapes

Several new Amex Offers came out over the past day or so. There are multiple variations of an offer for lululemon and then an offer for Luxury Escapes:

Spend at least $125 in qualifying purchases using your registered Card at https://shop.lululemon.com/ by 31/08/2023 and earn a one-time $25 statement credit. Registration cap applies. Terms apply.

Spend at least $150 in qualifying purchases using your registered Card at https://shop.lululemon.com/ by 31/08/2023 and earn a one-time $15 statement credit. Registration cap applies. Terms apply.

Spend at least $1,500 in qualifying purchases using your registered Card online at www.luxuryescapes.com/ca by 13/10/2023 and earn a one-time $300 statement credit. Terms apply.

What surprised me is that I actually received the $125 LuluLemon offer on my Cobalt Card! Perhaps beacuase I have the older Lululemon offer still available on my Platinum while the Luxury Escapes offers showed up on my Platinum Card. The Luxury Escapes offer is also available on Scotiabank American Express Cards who simply need to register for the offer here.

Simply log in to your Amex account or go onto the Amex app to see if these offers have been sent to you and to register for them. You can find this and many more offers in our Guide to American Express Canada ‘Amex Offers’
