We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    INSIDER SECRET: One of the best perks offered by both the personal and business Platinum cards is access to Centurion Lounges, some of the best lounges in the world.

    When it comes to airport lounges, it’s hard to beat the quality of Amex’s Global Lounge Collection. And even better, American Express continues to add to the network at a steady pace. By the end of 2020, Amex will add six lounges to the collection in highly-trafficked airports like Denver, Los Angeles and London Heathrow.

    And getting access to these and other Centurion Lounges around the world is easier than you might think.

    If your home airport has (or is soon getting) a Centurion Lounge, or if you frequently connect through an airport with a Centurion Lounge, having The Platinum Card® from American Express or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express is a wise choice. Here’s why:

    Thanks to my Amex Business Platinum card I was able to experience the outstanding AMEX Centurion Airport Lounge in Hong Kong for free.

    The Platinum Card® from American Express and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express cardholders receive access to Centurion Lounges, which are some of the highest-quality lounges on Earth.

    If you don’t know much about Centurion Lounges, check this post out to learn more. At these lounges, you can enjoy terrific perks like tasty, buffet-style meals and premium cocktails. Cardholders can bring along two guests for free to experience the benefits, too.

    Currently, there are Centurion Lounges in the following nine airports:

    By the end of 2020, there will be Centurion Lounges in these airports as well:

    So if you live in any of these cities, it’s a great time to add either the personal or business Amex Platinum card to your wallet.

    I’ve been an Amex Business Platinum cardholder for over three years and have gotten thousands of dollars of value from the card’s perks, like access to Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts not to mention the Amex Membership Rewards points I’ve earned and used for travel. I’ve also had the opportunity to visit the Centurion Lounges in Hong Kong, Seattle, and Las Vegas — all of which were incredible.
