Don’t Leave Home Without This Card

Generous dining credits at restaurants worldwide, discounts at popular dining spots and complimentary drinks are all yours with The Platinum Card® by American Express.

For the dedicated foodie, every meal out is more than just a time to refuel. It is also an opportunity for an experience to revel in - whether it’s at the hottest Michelin-starred restaurant in town or a familiar favourite that everyone has been raving about. And with The Platinum Card® by American Express, you get to enjoy membership benefits worth up to S$8,157, so every dining experience is just that much better. Here is how The Platinum Card will help you elevate every moment.

Splurge On Destination Dining With Global Dining Credits

If planning the food itinerary is your favourite part of holiday preparation, you are not alone. According to American Express’ recent Global Travel Trends Report, people are choosing their next destination based on what they’ll eat. In fact, nearly half of Gen Z and Millennials surveyed agree they have planned an entire trip around visiting a specific restaurant.

For a quick getaway at Bangkok, make a pitstop at the two-Michelin-starred Suhring, set amidst a lush garden and enjoy an elevated take on German cuisine. Traveling to the lively capital of Madrid? The trendy Ten con Ten, a cocktail bar and restaurant concept is the place to see and be seen at. With The Platinum Card, enjoy up to S$200 statement credits to use abroad at over 1,400 restaurants in 20 countries.

If you prefer a staycation, restaurants like Basilico, Mikuni and Tiffin Room, well- situated within luxury hotels, offer impressively executed Italian, Japanese and Indian cuisine respectively. Have a special occasion coming up and an indulgent meal is on the cards? Consider Michelin-starred French fine-diner La Dame de Pic, Raffles Singapore or three-Michelin-starred Restaurant Zén. A cherry on the icing: The Platinum Card offers S$200 statement credits to be used at these restaurants and more.

Have A Drink - On The House

There’s nothing quite like the first sip of a drink as you unwind at the end of a long work week at your favourite bar. For Platinum Card Members, happy hour lasts even longer with complimentary drinks at a selection of contemporary bars in Singapore.

Have a complimentary tipple (applicable only to bespoke cocktails, cocktails, house wine, beers, and fruit juices) with any purchase at Anti:dote; a glass of house whiskey with any order at The Auld Alliance; and a one-for-one offer on your first drink (applicable for Peroni Premium Draught Beer, signature cocktails, classic cocktails and handcrafted mocktails) at Chuān (川) by Nutmeg.

There are drink perks when dining at certain restaurants too. The Love Dining Experience was created to accompany you in your exploration of gastronomical delights and fine wine. Enjoy a complimentary glass of premium pour or bring-your-own-bottle for one bottle of wine per reservation.

Enjoy Savings At Popular Restaurants In Singapore

Great memories are made when sharing food with loved ones. Round up your friends for a meal at the F&B establishments of Singapore’s leading hotels like Swissôtel The Stamford, The St. Regis Singapore and W Singapore - Sentosa Cove (think the stylish SKAI Restaurant, the fashionable Astor Bar and grill house SKIRT), and enjoy savings of up to 50% on food bills with The Platinum Card’s Love Dining programme.

These generous savings are also applicable at a slew of other popular independent restaurants. Enjoy a relaxing Sunday lunch with the family at Peach Garden at OCBC Centre, date night over prime rib at Lawry’s, and casual gatherings with friends and colleagues over hearty Italian feasts at Spizza and La Nonna.

You can even use the S$200 local dining credit for added savings, should the restaurant be participating in both programmes, so there’s even more reason to dine out whenever you can.
