The Amex Platinum dining credit, country by country
The amount depends on where your card was issued
An Amex Platinum Card's dining credit is set by the country that issued the card, not where you eat. A UK card gets £400 a year, an Australian card A$400 and a Hong Kong card HK$2,000, most of them split between restaurants at home and abroad. A US card has no Global Dining Credit: it gets a $400 Resy credit for U.S. restaurants instead. The table has all 15 markets, each checked against Amex's own page.

Amounts are for the main Platinum Card, per calendar year. "Abroad" means participating restaurants outside the country that issued the card.
A country missing from the table is one whose cards we found no dining credit for on Amex's pages, such as Spain. Its restaurants can still be on the list, for cards issued in the countries above.
Who can use it
- Card
- The main Platinum Card. In most markets a supplementary card's spending does not count; in Austria and Taiwan it counts towards the main card's credit.
- Amount
- Set by the country that issued your card. A UK card used in Paris spends its abroad credit, not a French one.
- Taiwan
- Only cardholders Amex has invited to the offer.
How to use it
- Enrol the credit on your Platinum Card before you eat, in the Amex app or your online account (Amex Offers). Without it, nothing is credited.
- Choose a restaurant on Amex's list for your card. Each restaurant's page here says which programmes it is on.
- Pay the restaurant directly, in person, with that card. In Japan the Global Dining Credit applies only to prepaid reservations made through Pocket Concierge, American Express's own booking service.
- The money comes back as a statement credit, up to your card's amount for the period.
When it does not apply
Takeaway and delivery, gift cards and vouchers, deposits, booking, cancellation and no-show fees, and a meal charged to a hotel room instead of paid to the restaurant do not count in most markets' terms. Unused credit expires at the end of each period and is not paid out.
Pay a day or two before a period ends: the restaurant's charge has to reach Amex in time.
Cards from Canada, France and New Zealand cannot use it abroad: their credit is for restaurants at home only.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the Amex Platinum dining credit in 2026?
It depends on the country that issued your card. In 2026 a UK Platinum Card gets £400, half of it for restaurants abroad, an Australian card A$400, a Hong Kong card HK$2,000, a Singapore card S$200 and a Canadian card CA$200. A US Platinum Card has no Global Dining Credit: it gets a $400 Resy credit for U.S. restaurants instead. The table above has every market we could check.
Can I use my Amex Platinum dining credit abroad?
On cards from most countries, yes: the credit works at participating restaurants in every country on Amex's list, and many cards set part of it aside for abroad. Canada, France and New Zealand are the exceptions: their cards' credit is for restaurants at home only. A US card's Resy credit is for U.S. restaurants only.
When does the Amex Platinum dining credit end?
Under Amex's current terms, a UK card's credit runs to 30 June 2029, and the credit on cards from Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand to 31 December 2026. Amex's terms for cards from Austria, Canada, Japan and New Zealand give no end date, and the US Resy credit is ongoing. We will update the table when Amex publishes its terms for 2027.
Does unused Amex Platinum dining credit carry over?
No. Unused credit expires at the end of each period and is not paid out. In 9 of the 15 markets the period is a half-year (January to June and July to December); the US Resy credit's is a quarter.
Which restaurants take the Amex Platinum dining credit?
Only the restaurants on Amex's own list for your card. This site maps all 2,805 of them in 17 countries, updated weekly. In Japan, book the table on Pocket Concierge and prepay it there with your Platinum Card — paying the restaurant directly does not count.
