Monday, American Express revealed that it will happen “Your biggest investment ever” Fresh in a card, with Big changes are coming To Platinum Card® to American Express And Business Platinum Card® to American Express later this year. If the previous card refamps are no indication, the annual fee on these cards will definitely see an increase in the form of part of the planned changes. But how high could they go?

Both cards are already playing an annual fee of $ 695 (see) Rates and fees-Amex platinum) and (see Rates and fees-Begian Platinum) There is no full space left for Amex to increase the annual fee before entering the four-figure range-especially over the years, in the last few years, we have seen the annual fee on the premium credit card on both consumer and business aspects, which is $ 200 or more. Carry Marriott Bonwoy Brilliant® American Express® CardWhose fee Gone from $ 450 to $ 650 (Look Rates and fees) Back to late 2022, or United Club Business CardWhose fee is jumped $ 245 – From $ 450 to $ 695 – This last March.

As amex platinum, its final annual fee hike was smaller than $ 145, with a price tag on a card rising from $ 550 to $ 695 in 2021. But going back in 2017, when the fee was just $ 450, it is found that over a period of four years, the fee jumped from a cumulative $ 245 or 54%. And given that platinum changes are determined to effective this decline – four years after the final fee – changes that will not be large unprecedented. Adding another $ 245 to the current fee will make it $ 940, while an increase of 54% will be $ 1,070.

The big question is how much business and, in particular, consumers are ready to pay to keep a premium card in their wallet, especially in these uncertain economic time. Already with 2025, a premium card will probably stop making understanding for some people with wild ups and downs in the stock market already in the stock market, no matter how elite positions and statements credits came with it.

For now, we have to wait to see what Amax has, although the upcoming competition changes Chase Neelam Reserve® (Look Rates and fees) It can give us a clue where the annual fee is led.
