American Express Platinum Card: Luxury Local Dining Perks
|
|
The American Express Platinum Card probably has some of the best dining privileges of any card on the market. Up to 50% off on high-end restaurants and buffets and complimentary cocktails. Not to mention that the Amex Platinum is the official card partner of the Michelin Guide Singapore, allowing cardholders to gain invitations to exclusive guest chef dinners. The card also provides further luxury and shopping privileges. Despite the hefty S$321 annual fee, the more affluent Singaporean, particularly if you enjoy spending on dining, may feel the perks to be more than worth the costs. Amex Platinum Card also allows consumers to earn miles for their luxury spend. General purchases earn just 0.69 miles (1.25 pts) per S$1, but spend with Platinum EXTRA Partners–primarily designer fashion, watch and jewellery brands–earns an elevated 3.44 miles (6.25 pts). This is ideal for affluent shoppers who may feel restrained by typical shopping cards’ rewards cap. While there is a S$321 annual fee, wealthier Singaporeans–especially those who frequently dine out–may feel that Amex Platinum’s perks outweigh its cost. |
