Why I love traveling with my Amex Platinum by Cameron Sperance, Senior Hotels Reporter We're all family here at TPG, but that doesn't mean we don't occasionally have our playground squabbles ... around credit cards. I personally find there's no competition: It's The Platinum Card® from American Express or bust for my own travel tastes. The Amex Platinum was crucial in planning out my honeymoon to Vietnam last December, as the points I earned not only helped me score award stays but also upgrades and free breakfast at the Park Hyatt Saigon and the Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai via the Fine Hotels + Resorts platform.  Even when I'm not honeymooning, I take advantage of other Amex Platinum perks like up to $200 in hotel credits and airline credits, complimentary access to the American Express Global Lounge Collection, up to $200 in annual Uber savings and complimentary status with Hilton and Marriott (enrollment is required for select benefits). The Amex Platinum currently has an 80,000-point welcome bonus for new cardholders who spend $8,000 in the first six months of card membership — making your own Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai getaway closer to reality. Head to TPG's CardMatch tool to see if the Amex Platinum or another card is your perfect fit. Check out more details below on the Amex Platinum to see if it's a fit for you.
