Amex Offering Free Peacock Premium Plus For American Express Platinum Cardholders

One of the reasons many people get a premium credit card is for their travel perks. During the pandemic however, with travel on hold due to COVID-19, Amex introduced perks on streaming that offered up to $20 a month on a number of streaming services.

While that perk is no longer available, they have introduced a new $240 per year digital credit. For Platinum cardholders, you can get up to $20 a month on four services: Audible, SiriusXM, The New York Times, and Peacock.

For those who want video streaming, your best (and only option) is to use it on Peacock Premium ($5) or Peacock Premium Plus ($10). If you are a Xfinity or Cox subscriber, you will get an additional $5 OFF, meaning that Peacock Premium Plus is only $5 (and Premium is already free).

Just like most other perks on these cards, it is only available to the primary cardholder, but since Peacock recently added User Profiles, the entire family can take advantage of the promo.

Peacock

Since Peacock Premium and Premium Plus is less than the $20 monthly amount, you can use the rest fo save on the other services.

  • Peacock Premium ($4.99): Full Peacock Library, Including WWE Network & Premier League
  • Peacock Premium Plus ($9.99): Full Library (Ad-Free), plus Offline Downloads

Audible

  • Plus ($7.95): Access to Audible Originals and Audiobooks

Sirius XM

Generally, you can get a discount on these for your first year. Usually the “Select” Plan is only $5 a month for 12 months, while All Access is $8.25 for 12 Months. So you probably can add this to Peacock and still be under the $20 threshold.
