American Express is set to increase the annual fee for its Platinum card from $695 to $895, effective as early as December 2025 or January 2026. This significant hike comes alongside a suite of new benefits designed to enhance the cardholder experience.
The updated perks aim to provide more value to users, reflecting a growing trend among premium credit cards to offer exclusive rewards and experiences. Details on the specific new benefits have yet to be fully disclosed, but they are expected to cater to the evolving needs of affluent consumers.
As the competitive landscape of premium credit cards intensifies, American Express is positioning the Platinum card to retain its appeal among high-spending customers.
