American Express Adds New Platinum EXTRA Partners - Platinum Members Can Earn 15.6 Miles per Dollar Until 20 July 2020!

Exactly one week ago, American Express announced a Double Rewards campaign to give more value back to Centurion and Platinum members - eligible charge card holders will be able to earn twice the number of Membership Rewards (MR) points between 21 April 2020 and 20 July 2020. As a result of this campaign, members can also earn up to 40X MR Points (equivalent to 15.6 mpd!) across American Express Platinum EXTRA Partners. Today, American Express has added a couple of new Platinum EXTRA Partners for you to earn more points during this period.

As a quick reminder, Platinum members will be able to earn 40 MR Points per S$1.60 (capped at the first S$16,000 spend each year) across all Platinum EXTRA Partners and 20 MR Points per S$1.60 subsequently with no cap between 21 April 2020 and 20 July 2020. American Express has announced two new Platinum EXTRA Partners today:

• Leica (until 31 December 2020)

• Swiss Butchery (until 21 April 2021)

In addition to that, they have actually removed Schmidt Marketing as one of the partners (even though I do not expect most members to be affected by this move). As circuit breaker measures are currently in place, the opportunity to go out there to spend is very limited (especially since most of these merchants are unable to operate during this period as well). I would be interested to see whether this campaign would be extended (even though there is a Global component which makes it more difficult) and whether American Express would be doing more to reward her top-tier customers (who are paying high annual fees) during this period.
