There are strong rumours tonight that American Express is about to launch a £200 dining credit for The Platinum Card holders.

You will receive 100% back when you spend at participating restaurants, up to a cumulative £200. Centurion cardholders will receive a £400 credit.

The offer will run from tomorrow until the end of 2021.

EDIT Wed AM: This offer is now live and you can add it via the ‘Offers’ section of your card.

£200 of free dining credit for American Express Platinum cardholders!

The participating restaurants are here.

If you’re in London, you’re laughing. The list of restaurants is simply outstanding, from 3-star Michelin restaurants through to more casual groups such as The Ivy.

American Express £200 Platinum dining credit

The Ivy Harrogate is pictured above – there are a fair number of non-London restaurants included although there do seem to be big geographic gaps.

There are over 1,000 participating restaurants across 15 countries. Here is a random London selection for the letter ‘B’:

Bagatelle
Balthazar
Bar des Pres
Bluebird
Benares
Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill
Bob Bob Ricard
Brasserie Zedel
Bread Street Kitchen
Butlers Wharf Chophouse

…. and that is just ‘B’.

Full details should be released on Wednesday, but you can look at the restaurant list here.

I wonder if somebody will try playing the wording… “Valid every time up to £200” seems to suggest unlimited number of up to £200 meals (hahahaha).
Been wanting to try out the Gaucho at the O2…

Does this include Supplementary Card Members? – I tried to contact Customer Services and said it only applies to their Main/Basic Card Holders 🙁

  You’ll need to call them to add it as it should be on all primary cards this morning.

An offer which could have swung it for me, but only one restaurant in Glasgow, a city with one of the most dynamic restaurant scenes in the U.K., and it’s a chain – The Ivy, which has an absolutely terrible reputation here. They really shouldn’t have bothered.

  Not planning to leave Glasgow in the next 4 months?
  - Alan says:

    Well unless going to London it’s pretty much just The Ivy or the Ivy to pick from across the rest of the UK too…

      Lots of cities around the world too. Not just London.

Called up as I didn’t have the offer on my profile: Amex said that we should all be getting an email on the next 48 hours to opt in. They have received an email today saying it was leaked last night b HfP lol

  Leaked by their agents telling people yesterday about it when they rang for retention offers!

“Valid every time up to £200” does seem to suggest unlimited number of up to £200 meals – is this the case? Hmm
- Andrew says:
  
  1 Sep1 September 08:17
  
  Er no. Every time up to a cap of £200 overall. Just like the several Waitrose, Selfridges offers we’ve had.
