Editor\u2019s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.<\/em><\/p>\n Of all the personal travel cards on the market, the one that offers the most perks and access is The Platinum Card\u00ae from American Express<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also one of the most expensive cards due to its $695 annual fee (see rates and fees<\/a>) \u2014 but you can get your money\u2019s worth with lounge access<\/a>, up to $200 in annual Uber credits<\/a> (for use in the U.S.), up to $200 in airline incidental fee credits<\/a> and a statement credit of up to $100 per year at Saks Fifth Avenue. Enrollment is required for select benefits.<\/em><\/p>\n If you\u2019re like me and spend more than $100 a year at Saks Fifth Avenue, this is like money in the bank. Even those who don\u2019t typically shop at Saks can find value in this credit, which resets every six months \u2014 meaning the second half of the yearly credit is available now.<\/p>\n If you associate Saks Fifth Avenue with $4,000 Prada dresses, you aren\u2019t wrong. However, you might be surprised to find that they also offer much more reasonable and affordable items<\/a>.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a closer look and see what this credit offers.<\/p>\n The credit is available as two $50 statement credits per calendar year. Your first $50 statement credit is available from Jan. 1 to June 30, and your second $50 statement credit is available from July 1 to Dec. 31.<\/p>\n You need to enroll for this benefit to take effect, which you can do through your online Amex account<\/a>.<\/p>\nHow the Saks Fifth Avenue credit works<\/h2>\n
