Is the $895 Amex Platinum Annual Fee Worth It For Travelers?

The Platinum Card from American Express recently reclaimed its first-place rank as the most expensive mainstream travel credit card after briefly being dethroned by the Chase Sapphire Reserve this summer. In exchange for well over $1,000 in new benefits, the Amex Platinum now costs a whopping $895 a year, up $200 from the current annual fee of $695. To justify the annual fee price hike, the Amex Platinum now offers more than $3,500 of value in annual credits and benefits. It also comes in an optional, limited-edition mirror finish, which current cardholders can request through their online dashboard or via the Amex app.

I spend $940 on credit-card fees a year. These 4 travel perks make the cost worth it - and help me score free flights.

There's nothing I value more than airport-lounge access on long travel days... At a bare minimum, most of these lounges provide complimentary food and drinks, showers, and comfortable seating.
