The enhanced American Express Platinum welcome bonus of 75,000 Membership Rewards points plus £250 travel credit ends on January 13th, 2026. In this episode, we dive deep into one of the card's most underrated benefits: the £400 annual dining credit split between UK and international restaurants. Jack shares real-world examples of maximizing this perk, from Sunday roasts at The Ivy to wagyu tasting menus in Tokyo, and explains how it helps justify the £650 annual fee. Plus, essential tips on registering for the benefit, planning around your travels, and avoiding common mistakes that leave value on the table.
