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.

    If you’re a foodie with The Platinum Card® from American Express, great news!  Rolling out by 2019, you’ll be able to book highly rated in-demand restaurants (including sold-out tables) within the AMEX app!

    Access will begin in October 2018 for 2,000+ restaurants throughout London and the United Kingdom – with other locations, including the US, to follow into next year.

    AMEX has long had access to special tables for cardholders, but you had to call to book a spot.  This new app addition will secure your spot with a few taps!

    AMEX Platinum Members Can Book a Seat at Highly-Rated Restaurants, Like Hakkasan in London, Starting Next Month. And by Next Year, Access Will Start in the US!

    I’ll share the details!

    Link:   Save Time and Hassle: 7 Tasks AMEX Platinum Cardholders Can Outsource to a Concierge

    If you value culinary experiences at the world’s best restaurants, you know what a hassle it can be to reserve a table.  Hitherto, folks with an AMEX Platinum Card could call AMEX and ask them to set it up through their concierge service.

    Soon, it will get even easier.  By 2019, AMEX will let Platinum cardmembers book their seats directly in the AMEX app.  This cool perk is rolling out in the United Kingdom (with 1,000+ restaurants in London alone) as early as next month!

    Nobu Is Another London Restaurant AMEX Cardholders Can Book in Their App

    Once released, you can find a restaurant and book within seconds – sometimes even in cases where the restaurant is “fully booked.”

    That’s a huge change from having to call in, confirm your card information, tell the phone agent your dates and times, and wait for a confirmation.

    It’s hard to put a value on this new perk, but it’s just another in a long list of benefits already available with the AMEX Platinum Card.

    I’m assuming you’ll also have to use the card to pay for your meal, so no bonus points for dining.  But snagging a seat might be more than enough, especially if you’re celebrating a special event or treating yourself to a luxurious experience in a new (or favorite!) city.

    Will you take advantage of booking a restaurant with the AMEX app?
