Discover food hotspots around the world

The American Express Platinum Card opens up an exclusive network of culinary highlights for gourmets. Through selected partnerships with top restaurants and special programs, cardholders enjoy preferential access to limited gourmet events, special experiences and exclusive benefits in upscale gastronomy - worldwide.

In Austria alone, an annual gourmet credit of €180 is available. A further €180 can be redeemed internationally with participating partners - for culinary discoveries around the globe.





For a stylish aperitif in Vienna, you can choose from popular addresses such as the Zum Schwarzen Kameel restaurant, selected locations of Wein & Co or BAR CAMPARI. Afterwards, a variety of outstanding restaurants await: gourmets with the highest standards will get their money's worth at the legendary Amador Restaurant by star chef Juan Amador. Steakhouse lovers will find what they are looking for in one of the participating El Gaucho restaurants, while the Michelin-starred TIAN is an absolute must for vegetarians. Austrian classics can be enjoyed at the traditional Figlmüller Wollzeile or the charming Café Landtmann. There are also exquisite options away from the capital: Taubenkobel, STEIRERECK AM POGUSCH or the renowned Gasthaus Gut Purbach beckon in picturesque surroundings.

Particularly interesting for cardholders who love to travel: the gourmet credit does not end at the national border, it can be redeemed in over 2,000 participating restaurants worldwide. From trendy top restaurants in New York, Paris and Tokyo to culinary insider tips in New Zealand or Mexico.

Luxury starts at the gate

The American Express Platinum Card is the perfect travel companion for frequent flyers and globetrotters. Even the journey to the gate is more relaxed: Cardholders benefit from exclusive access to the Fast Lane at Vienna Airport for security checks - a service that is otherwise only available to Business and First Class travelers. This not only saves time, but also nerves.

And the VIP experience continues seamlessly: more than 1,400 airport lounges worldwide open their doors to Platinum Card users. Instead of spending time waiting at the gate, travelers can enjoy snacks, drinks and quiet retreats here - regardless of the flight class they have booked.





There are actually EVEN MORE goodies: Traveling with the American Express Platinum Card is not only convenient, but also rewarding. With every euro spent, you collect Membership Rewards points, which can be redeemed in a variety of ways. Particularly attractive is the possibility of transferring collected points to frequent flyer programs such as Miles & More or hotel loyalty programs such as Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy. Not only can you secure free nights and VIP benefits, but you can also enjoy exclusive extras such as free upgrades, breakfast for two, early check-in and late check-out. There are also welcome gifts, discounts on food and drink and additional bonus points for hotel bookings.
