When something you buy is broken or stolen, it shouldn't be your problem. That's why if you use your Card for eligible purchases, they can be protected from accidental damage or theft for up to 90 days from the moment you buy them.
If you try to return an eligible item within 90 days from the date of purchase and the merchant won't take it back, American Express may refund the full purchase price, up to $300 per item.
“My laptop was recently stolen from my house. I called and was grateful to have Purchase Protection on my Card and was able to be reimbursed the cost of the laptop. I purchased a new laptop with my Card with the money I received back. Thank you.”

The Benefits are worth the annual expense. The payback is almost instant with access to the Airport lounges. The perk for covering the incidentals that airlines seem to nickel and dime you with these days is icing on the cake.Not worrying about the 'will my purchased be authorized' while on an extended travel session is a great release of anxiety, allowing me to relax.All in all almost perfect. What could make it perfect? Not sure, it's mighty close.

I especially love being able to benefit the airline perks of this Amex Platinum. It also keeps my balance in check without carring a huge balance each month.Love the card!!
The benefits are definitely not quite worth the hefty annual fee and often the card is not accepted in several areas/merchants that I find it devalues the card even more.
The AmEx Travel staff is fantastic. They calmly and competently dealt with some major crises- cancelled cruises and flights- and went above and beyond to assist my family.
I have been a loyal cardmember since 1992 and have enjoyed the stellar service and exceptional travel-related benefits that come with the Card. I recently took a new job that requires weekly domestic travel (yes, i am a road warrior) and the upgrade to Platinum has made the travel as pleasurable as can be expected given the challenges we all face while on the road.

Mostly I like my Platinum card. The travel benefits, like free companion air tickets for business class and entry into airport lounges, are terrific. We have planned some wonderful vacations with Amex travel, but we have also had some spotty experiences with Platinum travel. Recently, planning a complicated trip, we doublechecked the recommendations and found that we had not been given all of the likely options. On the other hand, we recently returned from a cruise vacation, with stops before and after, and everything was handled perfectly.

Over the years I have continually been impressed with American Express' Platinum service. Everything from their amazing customer service to around the clock concierge has made this card my top pick. The member benefits are far superior to other programs I've experienced and I would recommend this card to anyone.

11Benefit is available to Consumer and Business Platinum Card® and Centurion® members only. To receive statement credits of up to $200 a year toward incidental air travel fees, Card member must enroll and choose a qualifying airline at www.americanexpress.com/airlinechoice. Only the Basic Card member or Authorized Account Manager(s) on the Card account can enroll and select the qualifying airline. Card members who have not chosen a qualifying airline will be able to do so at any time.

Card members who do not change their airline selection will remain with their current airline. Statement Credits: Incidental air travel fees must be charged on the enrolled Card account for the benefit to apply. Incidental air travel fees must be separate charges from airline ticket charges. Fees not charged by the Card member's airline of choice (e.g. wireless internet and fees incurred with airline alliance partners) do not qualify for statement credits. Airline tickets, upgrades, mileage points purchases, mileage points transfer fees, gift cards, duty free purchases, and award tickets are not deemed to be incidental fees. The airline must submit the incidental air travel fees under the appropriate merchant code, industry code, or required service or product identifier for the charge to be identified. Purchases made by both the Basic and Additional Card members on the enrolled Card account are eligible for statement credits. Each Card Account is eligible for up to a total of $200 a year in statement credits, regardless of the number of Cards on the Account. Please allow 2-4 weeks after the qualifying incidental air travel fee is charged to your Card account for statement credit(s) to be posted to the account. We rely on airlines to submit the correct information on airline transactions, so please call the number on the back of the Card if statement credits have not posted after 4 weeks from the date of purchase. Card members remain responsible for timely payment of all charges. To be eligible for this benefit, Card account(s) must be active and not in default at the time of statement credit fulfillment.

35When you request that we apply a limit as described below on Charges incurred by an Additional Card member on your Account, you agree to these terms. These terms supplement, and are incorporated by reference into, the terms of your Card member Agreement. At your request, we may agree to apply a limit to the total dollar amount of Purchases, during each billing period, that are charged to Card numbers associated with one or more specified Additional Card members on your Account. At your request, we may agree to apply a limit to the total dollar amount of cash access transactions at ATMs and American Express Travel Service locations, during each billing period, that are made using Card numbers associated with one or more specified Additional Card members on your Account. If we agree to apply a limit, it is not a guarantee that the Additional Card member will be able to make Purchases or cash access transactions up to the applicable limit. In applying any limit we will not take in to account any credits (such as for returned merchandise or for payments), even if a credit relates to a Purchase made by the Additional Card member. Any request that we change a limit may not be effective until a subsequent billing period. Any Charges (as defined below) incurred by the Additional Card member prior to the date during a billing period that we apply the limit will not be subject to the limit for that billing period. Because of systems or administrative considerations, arrangements with merchants, or for other business reasons, we may, but are not required to, treat some Purchases and/or cash access transactions (collectively, Charges) as not being subject to any such limits. You agree to pay all Charges without regard to whether any Charges exceed a limit, and you agree that we are not liable to you or any other person when a limit is not applied to any Charges and/or when Charges are incurred and billed that exceed a limit. While we typically require merchants to obtain an authorization for purchases and submit final transaction documentation for payment in a timely manner, a limit may not apply or may be exceeded when a merchant does not obtain an authorization for any reason; when a merchant obtains an authorization for a partial amount of the final charge submitted to us for payment; or when such submissions are not submitted or processed at the same time that the authorization is obtained. Examples may include, but are not limited to: Charges made outside of the U.S., in duty-free stores, or on board airplanes or cruise vessels; international airline ticket Purchases; vehicle rentals; lodging stays extended beyond original reservation period; certain mail order Purchases; Purchases billed on a recurring basis; Purchases at gas stations; telecommunications charges, including charges incurred with calling cards; taxicab charges; security deposits; late, damage, or other fees in connection with rentals; Purchases billed in installments; restaurant tips and other gratuities; and Charges that occur before the end of billing period, if the Charge is posted to your Account after the Closing Date of that billing period. Any limit will not be applied to Charges for foreign currency or for travelers cheques or gift cheques obtained at a location other than an American Express Travel Service location or by telephone from us. For Charge products only: This is additional footnote can be used to correspond with the optional field on the applications. The Spending Limit is optional. If no spending limit is set on the Additional Card, spending capacity on this Card will be subject to the Primary Card member's account terms and conditions.
