American Express - Time for something new: Enriching experiences

Great travel experiences - with the American Express Platinum Card

Life is a journey, and on every journey there are moments that stay with you. Whether it's the first impression of an unknown country, an unforgettable dinner in a magical setting or the exciting feeling of being part of an exclusive event - memories are created when we leave the ordinary behind and look for the extraordinary. Sounds good in theory - but often the extraordinary seems a little out of reach. This is exactly where the American Express® Platinum Card comes in. It not only opens up the possibility of more relaxed travel and more exclusive enjoyment, but also offers users a versatile range of options. We at Connoisseur Circle have taken a closer look at the benefits of the American Express Platinum Card for you.

The special awaits
The most attractive feature up front: the American Express Platinum Card is far more than just a means of payment - it is a key to a world of first-class experiences. Imagine having access to exclusive events in the fields of sport, fashion, entertainment, music and art. You can easily get pre-sale tickets for the most coveted events, reserved seating or meet & greets with your favorite stars. The list of benefits goes on: golf lovers will be delighted with access to the Golf Fee Card International, which offers green fee reductions and discounted access to around 2,000 golf courses worldwide. Gourmets can use their 150 euro restaurant credit to sample the menus of around 2,000 restaurants in over 20 countries around the world. Users of the American Express Platinum Card also receive worldwide access to 1,400 airport lounges and earn miles with international airline programs - but more on that later. One thing is certain: The American Express Platinum Card opens doors that would otherwise remain closed - anywhere in the world.

Luxury to collect
Membership Rewards® is the loyalty program of the American Express credit cards and works very simply in principle: users collect Membership Rewards points according to their turnover with the card. Points are collected automatically when shopping online, in restaurants or when traveling, and users receive 1 Membership Rewards point for every €1 spent. The points balance can be redeemed in various ways. For example, card transactions can simply be paid for with Membership Rewards points, or they can be redeemed for vouchers from exclusive partners such as Apple or Adidas. One way to redeem Membership Rewards points for travel is to transfer them to a frequent flyer program, including the British Airways Executive Club, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer and Miles & More. Those who diligently collect points can look forward to flights in Emirates First Class, Qatar Airways QSuite or Lufthansa First Class, for example.

Discover the world with ease
Long-distance travelers and frequent flyers benefit from membership in many ways - the American Express Platinum Card makes every trip a little less stressful. Access to 1,400 lounges of the Global Lounge Collection worldwide is open, so you can take your next flight with peace of mind. Keyword carefree: The American Express Platinum Card also offers a comprehensive insurance package. From travel insurance to car rental insurance, members are always on the safe side. In addition, numerous credits await every year: €200 online travel credit, €150 restaurant credit and €90 shopping credit. What's more, users enjoy elite status with leading hotel and car rental programs, which offers benefits such as room upgrades and special services - we like that!
