Don't lose your statement credits: Midyear card benefits to redeem before July 1
Editor's Note
If you have a premium rewards card, you're likely familiar with its statement credits. When cards charge high annual fees, much of that cost is often offset by these perks.
Many benefits reset on a biannual or quarterly basis, which means you either use them or lose them. As June 30 approaches, it's worth taking stock of which statement credits you still have left to redeem.
Here's a card-by-card breakdown of the benefits you'll want to use before July 1.
American Express
Some Membership Rewards-earning cards, as well as a few of Amex's Hilton cobranded cards, have statement credits that will expire at the end of June.
The Business Platinum Card from American Express
The Business Platinum Card® from American Express has three statement credits that fit into this category in exchange for its $895 annual fee (see rates and fees).
- Up to $300 statement credit biannually (up to $600 per calendar year) on prepaid American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection bookings: This statement credit applies when you book FHR or THC through Amex Travel and pay with your Amex Business Platinum. (Hotel Collection stays require a two-night minimum.) This benefit is divided into two up to $300 biannual statement credits, one for use from January to June and another for use from July to December.
