Amex is sending cardholders notice of changes coming to the venue collection benefit. Currently the Amex offer provides 10% off select venues up to $250/year. On 1/6/27 this benefit will be moved from an Amex offer to the benefits section.
Email from Amex:
Hello [Name],
Your Platinum Card® ending [number] is currently enrolled in the American Express Venue Collection™ benefit in Amex Offers so you can earn 10% back on qualifying purchases of food and beverage concessions, up to $250 per calendar year at participating stadiums and arenas.
Beginning January 6, 2027, this statement credit Amex Offer will be available for continued use in the Benefits section when you log in to americanexpress.com online or in the American Express® App.
Since this Card is already enrolled in the benefit, you will not be required to re-enroll once it appears in the Benefits section.
What’s Changing
• The American Express Venue Collection™ benefit will move from Amex Offers to the Benefits section of your online account and the American Express App.
• As a Basic Card Member, you will continue to earn statement credits on qualifying purchases.
• While Additional Card Members will be unable to enroll in this benefit, Basic Card Members will still earn statement credits on qualifying purchases made by Additional Card Members.
• Starting January 6, 2027, if you have other Basic Cards that are also eligible for the benefit, you can separately enroll each Card in the Benefits section.
Thoughts
Doesn’t look like much changes. Amex left out if the $250/year cap will remain in place.
