Big news for anyone with an American Express Platinum or Business Platinum Card, or for those considering one: Amex is rolling out some major updates later this year! While we're still waiting on all the juicy details (expect more in Fall 2025), it's clear these changes are designed with modern travelers, especially younger generations, in mind.

So, what's on the horizon for your next adventure? Get ready for even more Centurion Lounge access, with brand new locations popping up in Newark, Salt Lake City, and Tokyo. This is fantastic news for lounge lovers, expanding an already impressive global network. Amex is also doubling down on its dining and hotel programs, reportedly enhancing the Resy platform with tons of new restaurants and venues.

Don't worry, the travel benefits you already love aren't going anywhere. Think those handy airline fee credits, Global Entry/TSA PreCheck perks, and robust travel insurance (for those unexpected trip hiccups). For our Business Platinum friends, there's a sweet new $200 Hilton statement credit and automatic Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite and Hilton Honors Gold status. Beyond the perks, even the look and feel of the cards are getting a refresh!

Yes, there's been some chatter about potential annual fee adjustments, but these enhancements genuinely aim to level up your premium travel experience. We'll be keeping a close eye on American Express for all the confirmed details as they're released later in 2025.

What do you think of these upcoming changes? Are there any specific benefits you're hoping to see?
