Premium credit cards are not just about travel \u2014 they’re continuing to add lifestyle value you can use at home. The latest refresh<\/a> of The Platinum Card\u00ae from American Express<\/a><\/span> comes with some exciting new benefits for your day-to-day life.<\/p>\n

Generation Z and millennials should rejoice \u2014 the Amex Platinum now offers up to $75 per quarter (up to $300 per calendar year) in Lululemon statement credits.*<\/em> I’m excited about this benefit, as it can help me buy the latest athleisure clothing or accessories.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re looking for casual attire, travel basics or workout gear, here are 10 items TPG staffers recommend you buy with the quarterly $75 Lululemon credit.<\/p>\n

*Enrollment is required, and outlets are excluded. Only applies to purchases at U.S. stores and online.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the Amex Platinum’s $75 Lululemon credit?<\/h2>\n

Although the Amex Platinum<\/a><\/span>‘s new $895 annual fee may seem extremely high (see rates and fees<\/a>), perks like the quarterly up to $75 Lululemon credit (up to $300 each calendar year) help offset the cost.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>
DANYAL AHMED\/THE POINTS GUY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The up to $75 quarterly credit is valid for eligible purchases made at U.S. Lululemon stores (excluding outlets) and on lululemon.com. If you don’t use the credit at all or the entire amount, you’ll forfeit the remainder.<\/p>\n

I’m a huge fan of Lululemon and find its clothing to be an excellent choice for travel-day outfits. It’s also comfortable for city travel and lightweight for exercise.<\/p>\n

These versatile joggers are excellent for exercising in or, my favorite, walking in cities like London, Istanbul and Paris. They feature cuffed bottoms for a fitted look and four-way stretch to keep you comfortable all day.<\/p>\n

Sami Wilensky, a senior engineer at TPG, recommends this as an everyday bag. Even though her kids have grown up, she still brings extra items for them; this bag is large enough to fit all their things.<\/p>\n

Even if you’re a parent of a little one, you can easily add a few diapers and wipes for when you’re on the go.<\/p>\n

\n

The New Parent Backpack is an amazing product that I have used in the past. The bag offers an open-top zipper that gives you easy access to all your items inside.<\/p>\n

It has several interior pockets to keep things like diapers, snacks and wipes organized, in addition to a removable pouch and a changing mat for when you’re on the go.<\/p>\n

People find it soft and comfortable, making it the perfect item to wear postworkout or if you’re lounging at home or sitting in a cafe and working away.<\/p>\n

These trousers are a quintessential item for those who want to dress up but don’t want to compromise comfort or looks.<\/p>\n

Whether you wear these to the office or for a day out with friends on the weekend, these pants never look out of place. Chris Nelson<\/a>, a credit cards writer at TPG, touts them as the perfect pants for any occasion, and I agree.<\/p>\n

The Mat<\/h2>\n

Staying true to its origins as a yoga pants retailer, Lululemon offers a great yoga mat. It’s the perfect item for the up to $75 Amex Platinum Lululemon credit.<\/p>\n

It’s made of natural rubber and includes a top layer that absorbs moisture to retain grip during high-sweat yoga practices. For comfort, the mat can be flipped to the cushioned side.<\/p>\n

\n
\"The<\/div>

Maximize the Lululemon credit<\/h2>\n

The Amex Platinum Card<\/a><\/span> offers up to $75 in Lululemon statement credits each quarter. If you shop at the retailer only once and spend less than $75, you forfeit the remaining amount once the next quarter begins.<\/p>\n

To best maximize this benefit, be sure to use the entire credit per quarter. Remember, you can spread it across multiple purchases.<\/p>\n

\n
\"man<\/div>
WESTEND61\/GETTY IMAGES<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The average price of popular Lululemon items, such as jackets, pants and shirts, is usually above $75, so you shouldn’t have an issue using the entire credit. Just be sure to purchase items each quarter; otherwise, you’ll forfeit the maximum benefit amount of $300 per calendar year.<\/p>\n

If you’ve purchased an item you’re not happy with, consider an exchange. A return could trigger a credit reversal, and you may not be able to use the credit again that quarter.<\/p>\n

Another way to maximize the credit is to check markdowns or sale items; it can be a good way to save some money and stretch your credit further. Remember, only purchases made at a U.S. Lululemon store or online at lululemon.com are eligible; purchases at Lululemon outlets don’t qualify.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bottom line<\/h2>\n

The new Lululemon statement credit on the Amex Platinum<\/a><\/span> is a wonderful addition that I welcome. Consider these TPG-recommended items, or, if you already have your own favorites, be sure to purchase them using your Amex Platinum next time.<\/p>\n

With only about a week left of the third quarter for 2025, I recommend browsing Lululemon for a purchase to maximize the credit.<\/p>\n
