American Express Just Sent Me Macallan Whiskey Miniatures and Chocolates for an Online Guided Tasting - The Platinum Card

The Platinum Card from American Express is my personal favourite card - it does come with a higher-than-average annual fee each year (S$1,712) that cannot be waived but you can easily get plenty of value of out this metal card. As a quick summary, The Platinum Card comes with complimentary travel credit, free hotel stays, elite statuses in certain loyalty programs, unlimited lounge access, as well as access to discounted First and Business Class fares that can help you save plenty each year.

American Express runs plenty of interesting campaigns and promotions throughout the year and I have managed to save plenty of money by taking advantage of these offers as and when they happen. The ongoing Double Rewards Campaign for instance, allows Platinum Members to earn up to 15.6 miles per dollar on the first S$16,000 that they spend this calendar year across all Platinum EXTRA Partners. Approximately one week ago, I received an invitation (via email) to The Macallan Online Guided Tasting with American Express Platinum which promises a guided tasting experience with Brand Ambassador Randall Tan as well as a complimentary set of tasting kit with the following:

• The Macallan Triple Cask Matured Whisky (50ml)

• The Macallan Double Cask Whisky (50ml)

• The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old Whisky (50ml)

• Set of Janice Wong Chocolates

• The Macallan Glencairn Glass

Complimentary and exclusive events like these are what set American Express apart from her competitors in the market. This Platinum-only experience is all about creating a learning adventure for Platinum Members in the comfort of their own homes (especially since we can't head out freely for non-essential businesses). While this event alone is obviously not a good-enough justification to pay the S$1,712 annual fee each year, American Express constantly delights and surprises her members with things like these - last year, we received a complimentary stay at The Outpost Hotel on top of the usual free hotel night that comes with the membership each year.
