A cyberattack has breached the computer system at MGM Resorts, forcing the company to shut down operations at a dozen of the most iconic casino hotels in Las Vegas—including the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay and the Cosmopolitan—as well as another half-dozen MGM properties around the United States. The attack has left hotel guests locked out of their rooms and unable to use their digital key cards to charge goods and services.
How to use the Amex Platinum digital entertainment credit
23.08.2023 - 20:03 / thepointsguy.com
The Platinum Card® from American Express is a top-tier premium travel rewards card with a $695 annual fee (see rates and fees).
At first glance, that figure looks colossal for a single card. However, the plethora of lifestyle-oriented benefits helps cardholders justify keeping the Amex Platinum in their wallets.
One such feature is a monthly statement credit toward eligible digital entertainment subscriptions — which the issuer is slightly adjusting this year.
The Amex Platinum offers up to $240 in "digital entertainment" statement credits annually, spread out in monthly $20 increments. Enrollment is required. You can use these credits for the following subscriptions:
As of October 2, 2023, American Express will remove Audible from its list of eligible services for the entertainment credit. Any monthly billing of Audible on your Amex Platinum after October 2 will no longer be credited. So if you do not want to continue an Audible subscription due to its removal, then make sure you cancel your subscription before October 2.
First, note that you must enroll your card before making a qualifying purchase. You won't receive any statement credits if you fail to do this.
Head to your Amex Platinum home page and click the "Benefits" tab at the top of the screen.
You'll now see a large number of tiles outlining each of your card benefits in full. Scroll until you see "$240 Digital Entertainment Credit." You can click either the "Get Started" or "Learn More" button.
Scroll past the details and tips until you see a picture of your card. Indicate that you understand the terms and conditions of the card benefit, and click "Enroll Now."
That's it! You're ready to start saving.
Let's now look at the opportunities of each digital entertainment subscription. Remember that you must enroll directly with the provider for your Amex credit to trigger. You can't sign-up via a mobile app or third party.
Touted as "The Disney Bundle," you can get all of your movie, TV shows and sports-watching needs covered with Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN. You can also unbundle these offerings, and the digital entertainment credit will also reimburse for each monthly service individually.
There are varying levels of services with each plan, but here are some of the current monthly prices we've found:
As you can see, you can tailor the right plan that fits for your needs. No matter which plan you choose, you must purchase the monthly subscriptions directly through the provider's websites — after enrolling for the benefit with Amex.
Pro tip: The Disney Bundle may offer the best value for your money. That will maximize your $20 monthly digital entertainment credit, so this is a great plan to pick that covers all of your bases.

An airline is offering child-free zones on its flights. But lately, the real culprit of awful flying experiences isn't babies on board — it's the airlines themselves.
An airline's offer of child-free zones on flights promises "extra peace of mind." But while it may solve complaints of crying or noisy kids, the idea of an adult-only zone doesn't address some additional culprits of tense travel sagas.
