The American Express Platinum card 5x points bonus gives 5 points / $1 spent on eligible airfare and hotel stays. The card’s base rewards rate is 1 point / $1 spent on purchases.
American Express Platinum card’s 5 points / $1 flight bonus applies to airfare booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel (up to $500,000 spent per year). Prepaid hotel reservations booked on Amex Travel with a American Express Platinum card card also earn 5 points / $1 spent.
Purchases not eligible for the 5x points bonus:
Car rentals, non-prepaid hotel reservations, charter flights, private jet flights, cruises, and similar travel expenses do not earn the American Express Platinum card’s 5 points / $1 bonus. These bookings and all other purchases only earn 1 point / $1 spent.
Keep in mind that the American Express Platinum card’s 5 points / $1 bonus rewards can take up to two billing cycles to post to your account.
