How does the hotel credit benefit work with the Amex Platinum Card?

The hotel credit benefit provided with the American Express Platinum Card is designed to enhance a cardholder's travel experience. When cardholders book stays at eligible hotels through the American Express Travel platform, they can receive an annual statement credit. This credit usually applies to prepaid hotel bookings at Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection properties, where a minimum two-night stay is often required. The benefit typically covers room charges and may include additional on-property amenities or dining credits. However, terms and conditions, such as eligible properties and exact credit amounts, can vary and should be reviewed by cardholders to maximize their benefits effectively.
