Add to Compare
The Platinum Reserve credit card is the second most premium credit card that American Express offers, only next to the Platinum card, which is a Charge Card (Charge cards have a variable credit limit). Looking at the benefits that it offers, from Taj Epicure membership to the Hotel Collection program, one might consider it a travel credit card. However, it offers many other benefits, including exclusive dining benefits, complimentary golf, and movie vouchers. Apart from all these benefits, AmEx cards are known for their brand value. Many prefer AmEx cards over Visa and MasterCard just for that reason. Here, we’ve covered in detail all the features and benefits this card offers. Read on to find out whether it fits your needs.
