American Express today announced benefits enhancements on The Platinum Card^®, giving Cardmembers £400 back when they spend at restaurants.

Launching in early January 2025, Cardmembers can receive £100 back when they dine at participating UK restaurants between January and June, then another £100 between July and December. The same cashback benefits will apply to Cardmembers who dine at selected international restaurants over the same periods. Combined, Cardmembers are eligible to receive up to £400 back a year.

This enhanced dining benefit provides an additional £100 of dining credit compared to the current offer, which expires on 31 December 2024, and gives Cardmembers a total of £150 to spend at selected UK restaurants, and £150 at selected international restaurants (£300 total) a year.

A current list of the more than 2,000 participating restaurants, which are hand-picked by Amex dining experts, can be found here. Restaurants include Berenjak Soho, Tattu Manchester and Bread Street Kitchen Edinburgh.

To be eligible to receive the credits, Cardmembers must enrol for the benefit in the Amex Offers section of their App or Online Account when the new offer launches in early January.

Harvey Nichols

American Express has also extended its Harvey Nichols credit – which was originally due to expire 31 December 2024 – to 30 June 2025. This benefit gives Cardmembers £50 back every six months when they shop online or instore at Harvey Nichols.

As with the dining credit, Cardmembers can enrol in the Amex Offers section of their App or online account. However, unlike the dining credit, Cardmembers who have already enrolled do not need to re-enrol.

Caroline Bouvet, Vice President, American Express, commented: “We know our Platinum Cardmembers value premium benefits and offers that match their lifestyle. Whether it’s a fine dining establishment, or a cosy local gem, our Cardmembers enjoy using their dining credit, so it’s great that we’re able to add even more value to it, while at the same time extending the Harvey Nichols credit.

“And with a sign-up bonus of up to 50,000 Membership Rewards^® points, which could equal up to £250 in value, this really is a great time to sign up.”
