AMEX Hotel Hack

Don't book another hotel with your AMEX Platinum so you watch this video. So you know you have that free $200 AMEX hotel credit every year. There's a website that shows you all of the best value hotel where you can use this credit and you can organize by city, price, and even brand. Heck, you can even have it only show you hotels that give you the elevated $100 property credit, $125 property credit, $150 property credit, $100 food and beverage credit, $125 food and beverage credit, and $150 spa services credit just for making a reservation. It's called MaxFHR.com. So you were looking at taking a trip to Beijing. You just type it in the search bar and you see there's actually a St. Regis Beijing there as low as $181 a night, which would be entirely covered by the $200 hotel credit. On top of that $200, you get an additional $100 to play with while you're there and free breakfast for two every morning you stay. But with the Fine Hotels + Resorts collection, you can stay as little as one night to activate all of these credits. So you would just click on the St. Regis Beijing and this takes you to an AMEX portal where I can book the room. And if you're feeling extra spontaneous, just go to the homepage of MaxFHR and put nothing in the search bar and it will show you all of the cheapest options across the globe. There is little as $107, $112, $128, and $77 making money if you stay at one of these. So use your credits wisely.
