I’ve written many times about Amex Offers and how much money you can save by redeeming them. Amex offers are one of my favorite things about holding multiple American Express cards. I have saved thousands of dollars on clothing, dining, hotels, airfare, and more. These can be found on any American Express card simply by navigating to the offers section on the site or app.

Europe

Some new offers popped up on The Platinum® Card from American Express when I checked earlier today. These offer savings with specific merchants in France, Italy, Spain, and the UK. There are four countries included, but I was only offered three. At first glance, these appear to offer savings just for shopping in a given country, but they do require you to shop at specific merchants. Here are the details:

Anthony’s Take: If you'[re traveling to Europe this year and plan to do some shopping, make sure to add these offers.

Anthony’s Credit Card Pick: I love many of the benefits of the The Platinum Card® from American Express. I particularly like that it grants me access to many lounges. It has had a prominent place in my wallet for many years now. While it does have an annual fee of $695, it provides many travel benefits and will always be my go-to for lounge access (both Delta Sky Clubs® and Centurion Lounges) and booking airfare from the airlines to earn 5x points (up to $500,000 per calendar year).
