American Express Elevates the Platinum Card® in Singapore with New Benefits as Card Members’ Lifestyles Change
- Written by: Telegraph Magazine
“Our customers’ lives have evolved as the pandemic has changed their lifestyles and priorities. For many of them, meaningful experiences and unforgettable adventures are not just found abroad anymore, but also here in Singapore. Our diversified benefits reflect their many new desires to travel, stay home, wine and dine and create those unique experiences,” said Mr. Marlin Brown, the newly appointed American Express Singapore Country Manager.
New benefits worth up to S$1,200 in statement credits each year, starting in early 2023
Card Members can enroll via the Amex mobile app or website to enjoy these new credits from early 2023[1]:

- S$204 in Entertainment Credits per year for monthly news or music streaming services.

With the introduction of these new credits, the existing S$800 in travel credits (comprising S$400 in air travel credits and S$400 in lodging credits, for bookings made through the Platinum Concierge) will be discontinued on 31 January 2023.
