It seems like 2025 might be turning into the biggest year yet for credit card refreshes.<\/p>\n

On Monday, American Express announced that it will be making “major updates” to one of its most beloved and rewarding cards.<\/p>\n

The issuer said that The Platinum Card\u00ae from American Express<\/a> and The Business Platinum Card\u00ae from American Express<\/a> will be receiving a full revamp later this year.<\/p>\n

Amex is notoriously cagey about making announcements before everything is perfectly buttoned up, so this move might surprise some insiders.<\/p>\n

Personally, I think that Amex’s announcement might be timed to steal some of the spotlight from Chase, which has similarly announced a full revamp<\/a> of its popular Sapphire Reserve card coming this summer.<\/p>\n

Chase has taken to social media and has partnered with German actress Claudia Schiffer to generate buzz about the upcoming Sapphire Reserve revamp.<\/p>\n

Amex’s pre-announcement doesn’t really contain many details, but it should be enough to get the rumor mill buzzing about what the issuer might be cooking up, and to garner some headlines at a time when Chase seems to be grabbing lots of the attention in the premium credit card market.<\/p>\n

There are no official details about what’s coming with the Platinum refresh, aside from a “stay tuned” teaser for the updates coming this fall.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether Amex will continue adding statement credits for various partners or pursue an entirely new direction. It’s likely there will be changes tailored for millennial and Gen Z segments, which Amex says account for 35% of its total U.S.-based consumer spending last quarter. Hopefully, the issuer also doesn’t take this opportunity to increase the annual fee by much.<\/p>\n
