American Express Credit Card

If you do not yet own an American Express credit card, this is the perfect time to apply for one. Between now and 31st March 2022, there’s some very attractive sign-up perks for new applicants of the following American Express credit cards.

Platinum Charge Card

I’ve spoken about the American Express Platinum Charge card so much on this blog – it’s benefits cannot be understated. My absolute favourite are the Love Dining benefits allow diners to eat in at a number of reputable hotels (Hotel Dining Guide here!)  and several high-end restaurants (Restaurant Dining Guide Here!) at up to 50% off. It also gives elite statuses in four major hotel programmes (Marriott, Hilton, Radisson, and Discovery), and has an additional Fine Hotels and Resorts (FHR) benefits – I’ve used FHR benefits for a stay at Shangri-La Singapore with my family, feel free to check it out right here.

Platinum Credit Card

The Platinum Credit card (annal fee: SGD 1712) is NOT to be confused with the Platinum Charge card (annual fee: SGD 321).

Like the Platinum Charge card, it has Love Dining benefits and Chillax perks (which gives card holders 1-for-1 and complimentary drinks at selected hand-picked nightspots in Singapore). However, the benefits are mainly food and drink only on this card – unlike the Platinum Charge Card, there are no extensive hotel benefits or airport lounge allowances.
