American Express just launched new benefits for several of their products that kick in today and last until the end of the year.
These are new benefits that will save you money on every day purchases and bills including things like phone bills and also dining. This should help a lot of people hold onto their credit cards and not cancel them because there is so much value being offered. Here are the details you need to know about.
Platinum Card
- Receive up to $320 in statement credits on select streaming and wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers (up to $20 per month on each, from May through December 2020).
Business Platinum Card
- Receive up to $320 in statement credits on wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers and U.S. purchases for shipping (up to $20 per month on each, from May through December 2020).
- Will receive up to $200 in additional statement credits for U.S. purchases with Dell Technologies, for a total of up to $400 in statement credits in 2020 ($100 in additional statement credits from May 1 through June 30, 2020 and up to $100 in additional statement credits between July 1 and December 31, 2020).
Green Card
- Receive up to $80 in statement credits when you pay for wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers (up to $10 per month, from May through December 2020).
Note that you can often split up your wireless phone bills so if you have the Green and Platinum card I see no reason why you could not stack these for even more savings.
