Amex Plat Travel - No Retention Benefits Offered - July 2025

[prince747]

My Platnium Travel card has come up for renewal and accordingly Amex has charged the annual fee in tbr latest statement.

For the longest time I've seen people talk about the different kinds of offers they received when they called up Amex and ask for waiver.

So I called them up today and asked if they could give me an offer too. Do note I have Platinum and Gold charge cards besides the Travel card.

They flatly, although politely, refused to give me any offer. They say that such an offer is not available for my profile. I really do not want to pay the full fee, even though it's a very beneficial card, having just doled out almost 78k a few months ago for the charge card.

Has anybody else faced this? Were you able to talk with them and get them change their decision and give you an offer?

Would appreciate any inputs.

Looks like cleanup in the process.
First rolled out multiple offers and upgraded Gold charge and platinum travel holders to platinum charge (potential HNIs)
Stopped added new customers
Now no retention offers, which potentially cleans up the bottom layer who just holds card for limit spends and acquiring RP

Can't do anything now i guess...It's done and fee payment also done already


Thanks for the options. Will consider these options next year for sure.

still you can ask for the offer i paid the fee last month and ask for offer they gave all these 4 option i choose 2.5 lakh in 90 days and fee will be reversed after 30 day once the 2.5 lakh spend complete with in 90 days

I tried a lot but I did not get any renewal fee waive offer on platinum travel card. They are just telling they are offering more then the value of renewal fee.
