💳 Amex Platinum Credits You Need to Spend Before the End of the Year | $2,000+ Value

If you hold an Amex Platinum, it’s likely some of your credits are going to waste each year. Don’t wait until December’s final audit window.

Amex refreshed its benefits in 2025, rolling out over a thousand dollars in new statement credits across travel, dining, shopping, wellness, and security perks. But don’t forget:

Many credits expire on December 31. And all of them reset January 1.

If you’ve haven’t used them all? You’re potentially leaving $2,000+ that can still be spent on the table.

This post is your no-nonsense checklist with clear instructions for every credit you can still spend if unused (including monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, and annual benefits).
