If you watch as many movies and TV shows as I do, chances are you’ll get a kick out of the updated American Express Platinum Card®.
With its recent refresh, the Platinum Card® now offers $300 a year in credits on “digital entertainment,” which includes popular streaming services like Hulu, Paramount+ and Peacock (terms apply; enrollment may be required).
That means the Platinum Card® isn’t just a fit for frequent flyers and big spenders — it’s great for couch potatoes and binge-watchers, too.
Here’s what to know about the Platinum Card®’s expanded streaming perk.
Save $25 a month with your favorite streamers
With the Platinum Card®, you’ll now get $25 a month in credits to use on “digital entertainment,” up from $20 a month beforehand. That comes out to $300 a month. Terms apply; enrollment may be required.
The list of ways to use this perk has expanded, too. Eligible services now include:
- Disney+
- ESPN+
- Hulu
- The New York Times
- Paramount+
- Peacock
- The Wall Street Journal
- YouTube TV

As you can see, it’s not just streamers — there are a few newspapers in there, too. Who doesn’t spend at least $25 a month on those services?
Just make sure you use your card to purchase directly from the providers.
