What does the Amex Platinum entertainment credit cover?

The American Express Platinum card includes a Digital Entertainment Credit — a monthly streaming credit of up to $25 per month (up to $300 per year). It reimburses eligible subscriptions when you enroll and pay with the card.

Eligible services currently include Disney+, a Disney+ bundle, ESPN streaming services, Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, YouTube Premium, YouTube TV, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. You must subscribe directly with the provider — not through a third party, cable bundle, or app store — and pay with the enrolled Platinum Card. Amex has revised the eligible list before, so confirm the current lineup and cap in your Amex account.

Wondering if Audible counts? It's a common question — Audible was part of this credit in the past, but it is not on the current eligible list, so an Audible subscription won't trigger the credit today.

One recent change to note: as of August 1, 2026, Peacock bundle subscriptions are no longer eligible, though a standalone Peacock subscription bought directly still is.

Used fully, the streaming credit is worth up to $300/year. If you already pay for one or more eligible services — say Disney+ and Hulu — enrolling them means the card automatically covers up to $25/mo of that spend.
