American Express Platinum Card: Global Entry credit

What the summary says

Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit, and a CLEAR Plus credit

The summary states no limit for it. That means none was written down, not that there is none — the guide to benefits has the figure.

Who it is worth it for

If a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit is the reason you are looking at the American Express Platinum Card, the PenFed Pathfinder Rewards lists it too, with an annual fee of $95 — $800 a year less. 9 cards here carry it for a lower fee in all. What the difference buys is the rest of the American Express Platinum Card: its rewards and the other benefits below. Compare the two summaries before deciding they are the same cover.

On rewards alone, the illustrative household spending $2,205 a month (the assumption, in full) earns about $625 a year on the American Express Platinum Card, or −$270 once its $895 fee is paid. So the rewards leave $270 of the fee for the card's credits and benefits — this one among them — to make up. It is worth it for somebody who would use enough of them, at face value, to cover that gap; credits are not priced here because they are worth their face only if you would have spent the money anyway.
