Summarized from American Express’s published terms, checked September 28, 2026. Terms change — confirm details with American Express before you rely on them.

When it resets

Two windows a year: January–June and July–December.

The current window closes on December 31, 2026 — 91 days from today.

How not to lose it

  • You get two separate windows — use the first half by June 30 and the second by December 31. The halves don’t combine.
  • Don’t wait for the last day. Statement credits can take days to post, and a purchase that settles after the window closes may not count.
  • Check how you book. The terms tie this credit to a specific booking channel, and other channels won’t trigger it.
  • Pay with the Platinum Card. The credit only follows purchases charged to the card that carries it.
