“This card has an annual fee of nearly $700” tends to cause many people to drop their jaws. The general reaction — from most people — is that there’s simply no way paying a high premium annual fee is worth it.
The Business Platinum Card® from American Express has an annual fee of $695 (see rates and fees), yet the card claims to offer more than double that in annual credits and perks.
Does that mean you should add the Amex Business Platinum to your wallet? It depends.
Here’s a look at what you get from the Amex Business Platinum each year so you can decide whether or not this credit card is a good fit for you.

Hotel elite status
Cardmembers can register for automatic elite status with Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy. This benefit provides Gold status in both programs. Enrollment is required; terms apply.
Hilton Gold status is a very valuable hotel status that provides benefits like bonus points on paid stays, complimentary bottled water, a fifth night free on award stays, room upgrades (though not to suites) and free continental breakfast or food and beverage credits.
Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status is also very valuable and provides benefits like late checkout, room upgrades (though not to suites), bonus points on paid stays, enhanced internet and a welcome gift of bonus points at check-in.

Car rental elite status
Cardmembers can enroll for complimentary elite status with Avis Preferred, Hertz Gold Plus Rewards and National Emerald Club. Enrollment in advance is required for these benefits; terms apply.
Rental car elite status provides benefits like car upgrades, a free second driver and my favorite benefit: skipping the line and going straight to your car at the start of your rental. One of the best benefits of car rental elite status in any program is the ability to status match with other rental car programs, helping you gain status in numerous programs simultaneously.

Pay with Points perk
When paying with points for a flight through Amex Travel, Business Platinum cardmembers can get 35% of their points back. This applies to two types of bookings: flights in any cabin with your preselected preferred airline or flights with any airline if the reservation is for business class or first class.
Cardmembers can enjoy up to one million points refunded through this benefit every year. Achieving this maximum bonus would require spending 2,857,143 points within a calendar year using the Pay with Points feature to book qualifying flights. Terms apply.

Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection
Amex Business Platinum cardmembers can book stays with Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) and The Hotel Collection (THC).
FHR stays include benefits like daily breakfast for two, late checkout, complimentary Wi-Fi and room upgrades (if available at check-in). Each stay also includes a unique experience credit worth $100, typically in the form of dining credits or spa credits.
THC stays include room upgrades (if available at check-in) and a $100 property credit (with bookings of two consecutive nights or more) to spend on qualifying dining, spa and resort activities. Terms apply.

Bonus points for airfare and hotels
Business Platinum cardmembers can earn 5 points per dollar on airfare and prepaid hotel bookings made through Amex Travel.
This earning rate also includes bookings with Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection.

Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee reimbursement
Cardmembers can receive statement credits to reimburse their application fees for Global Entry ($120) or TSA PreCheck (up to $85). This benefit is available every four years for Global Entry or every 4½ years for TSA PreCheck. Terms apply.
These programs allow approved travelers to move through airport security checkpoints faster, using PreCheck lanes at designated airports. Global Entry users have an additional benefit: They can use designated lanes when entering the U.S. to move through passport control faster.

Annual Clear Plus membership credit
Clear is not a government security program, but it does help approved users speed through security checkpoints at airports and select stadiums using biometrics.
Business Platinum cardmembers can receive reimbursement in statement credits of up to $199 per calendar year for Clear Plus membership fees. No advance enrollment is required for this benefit; pay with your Business Platinum card to automatically receive a statement credit (subject to auto-renewal; terms apply).

Annual airline statement credits each calendar year
Traveling can sometimes come with costly fees that show up in the form of paying for checked bags or upgrading to a better seat on your flight. Fortunately, Business Platinum cardmembers can offset those fees with up to $200 in statement credits for airline incidental fees per calendar year.
Business Platinum cardmembers can choose one of the following airlines as their preferred airline: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines, Southwest Airlines or United Airlines.
Before using this benefit, you must choose a preferred airline in advance. The benefit can cover change and cancellation fees, seat selection fees, upgrade fees, checked bag fees and more. Enrollment is required; terms apply.
I use this $200 annual credit on United and stock up on Travelbank credit, which essentially takes $200 off the cost of my ticket.

Quarterly Hilton statement credits
At the end of 2024, the Business Platinum introduced a new quarterly statement credit for purchases with Hilton. Cardmembers now receive up to $200 in statement credits per year, split into four $50 quarterly credits. Enrollment is required; terms apply.
You can earn the credit simply by making a purchase directly with a Hilton portfolio property using your Business Platinum card. Eligible charges include room rates, incidental purchases, including dining and room service, and spa treatments.
It’s important to note you’ll need to enroll in the Hilton for Business program to be eligible for the statement credit. If you aren’t a member of Hilton for Business, you’ll be registered when you enroll in the card’s benefit.

Annual spending statement credits
Business Platinum cardmembers can take advantage of lots of statement credits each calendar year: up to $150 per year with Adobe, up to $120 per year on cellphone plans with U.S. service providers, up to $360 per year with Indeed and up to $400 per year with Dell. Enrollment is required; terms apply.
The Adobe and Dell credits will end on June 30.
The Adobe credits apply to prepaid business plans for Creative Cloud for teams or Acrobat Pro for teams. The wireless services benefit is available as up to $10 per month in statement credits for U.S. wireless phone service plans paid for with your Business Platinum card.
You can receive up to $90 of statement credits per quarter with Indeed. The Dell benefit provides up to $200 in statement credits semi-annually.
Enrollment is required in advance for some of these benefits; terms apply. Maximizing these benefits provides $1,030 in statement credits each year.

Other cardmember perks
Cardmembers can take advantage of several other benefits (enrollment is required for select benefits; terms apply).
The Business Platinum card is designed for cardmembers to pay the entire bill in full each month. If you can’t pay the full amount, you may be able to carry a balance on some purchases by enrolling in the Pay Over Time feature.*
Not all purchases will be eligible for Pay Over Time, and not paying your entire balance in full each month will likely result in paying interest. You also may be able to earn bonus points through offers to enroll in Pay Over Time — and you can earn those bonus points for enrolling even if you never carry a balance.
Paying your monthly cellphone bill with your Business Platinum card will also provide cellphone protection to cover your phone against loss or damage. There is a maximum of $800 liability per claim, and each claim is subject to a $50 deductible. There’s also a limit of two claims per eligible account in a 12-month period.
Covered phones are restricted to cellphone lines listed on a mobile phone plan paid with the eligible card during the most recent billing period.** Combining this benefit with the monthly wireless credits covered above is a great way to invoke insurance benefits plus a discount on your monthly cellphone bill.
Another benefit available to cardmembers is preferred access, which can mean tickets to exclusive events, going to the front of the line for ticket sales on other events and even getting access to hard-to-find dining reservations with Resy.
When making purchases, cardmembers will earn American Express Membership Rewards points, which TPG pegs at 2 cents per point, per our January 2025 valuations. Cardmembers will earn 5 points per dollar on prepaid flights and hotels booked through Amex Travel.
Additionally, cardmembers earn 1.5 points per dollar on purchases of $5,000 or more or purchases in the following categories within the U.S.: construction material and hardware suppliers, electronic goods retailers, software and cloud system providers and shipping providers.
Earning 1.5 points per dollar is limited to $2 million of purchases; then, you’ll earn 1 point per dollar. All other purchases also earn 1 point per dollar.
*Pay Over Time disclosure: No Preset Spending Limit means your spending limit is flexible. Unlike a traditional card with a set limit, the amount you can spend adapts based on factors such as your purchase, payment, and credit history.
**Eligibility and benefit levels vary by card. Terms, conditions and limitations apply. Visit americanexpress.com/benefitsguide for details. Policies are underwritten by New Hampshire Insurance Company, an AIG Company.

Bottom line
There are numerous benefits included with the Amex Business Platinum card. Some are annual statement credits, and others offer statement credits monthly or quarterly. Other benefits don’t have a tangible price tag, and how you value those benefits will vary.
Suppose you can use benefits like lounge access, statement credits and other travel perks. In that case, you’ll easily be able to offset or overcome the Business Platinum card’s annual fee each year — making it “worth it” in your situation.
However, for those who struggle to use the card’s credits or have many of its benefits through other credits in their wallets, it may be difficult to justify paying the $695 annual fee.
