Don't miss out: credit card perks expire soon – here's what you need to redeem
Your premium rewards cards are overflowing with credits, but they’re ticking down. June 30th is fast approaching, and a whole host of statement benefits are poised to disappear if you don’t act now. Let’s cut through the jargon and get you the details on maximizing your Amex, Hilton, and more before the clock runs out.
Amex’s urgent reminder: business platinum credits vanishing
American Express is issuing a stern warning: the Business Platinum Card’s statement credits are expiring. Specifically, those three perks – up to $300 biannually on Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection bookings, and $90 quarterly for Indeed purchases – are on a tight deadline. You’re looking at a maximum of $600 per year on those FHR/THC stays, and $360 overall for Indeed. Don’t let those dollars go to waste – book now and lock in the savings. Remember, Hotel Collection stays require a minimum two-night commitment.
Platinum perks: hotel & dining deals within reach
The American Express Platinum card holders, brace yourselves. That $300 biannually (or $600 annually) for prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection is still available – but only if you book through Amex Travel. Similarly, snag up to $100 per quarter ($400 annually) for Resy reservations, and $75 per quarter ($300 annually) for Lululemon purchases. Enrollment is crucial for all these offers, so ensure you've activated them.
Hilton honors loyalty: don't let credits fade
Hilton loyalists, pay close attention. The Hilton Honors American Express Aspire and Business cards offer biannual statement credits – up to $200 for resort stays and $50 for eligible flight purchases. The Aspire card gives you up to $400 annually on resort credits, while the Business card offers $240. The Surpass card has a smaller, quarterly credit of $50 for Resy. Registration is a must for these benefits.
Beyond amex: bilt & chase rewards
Don’t ignore the smaller players. Bilt’s Palladium and Obsidian cards offer a biannual $200 and $50 hotel statement credit, respectively. Chase Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business cardholders have statement credits for StubHub and Viagogo, as well as for dining through OpenTable. The Sapphire Reserve also boasts a unique $500 statement credit for The Edit, but those credits aren’t restricted by a biannual deadline. Remember to activate those credits – and don’t combine them.
The bottom line: act now or lose them
Time is of the essence. These statement credits represent genuine value, and letting them lapse is essentially throwing money away. Take a moment today to review your card statements and redeem those benefits before June 30th. A proactive approach will ensure you’re maximizing your rewards program’s potential. Don't delay - the opportunity vanishes with the month.
