Whether you are in charge of start-ups that will disrupt industries or positioning your business to adapt and capitalise on market shifts, one thing is constant – a life still needs to be lived and anything that facilitates it is a boon amid the whirl of change. 

Designed to complement the lifestyle of the high net worth, the American Express Platinum Card anticipates its members’ needs, then meets them with top-notch service. If members must make last-minute travel arrangements, for instance, the Platinum Concierge will get the job done 24/7, and even procure savings on the tickets. They also have access to free round-the-clock assistance on any home repairs, while a Global Assist programme grants individuals immediate medical or legal advice from reputable professionals. 

Membership also comes with a host of exclusive lifestyle privileges, such as early access tickets to events, and access to VIP lounges or private meet-and-greets. When globetrotting, members can enjoy the comfort of the ultra-premium Centurion Lounges at airports, or perks such as discounts or free bottles of wine at restaurants around the world that participate in the Taste from American Express Invites dining programme. They are also automatically granted elite status in worldwide loyalty schemes with hotel chains such as Starwood and Hilton. Immediate family, too, benefit by way of complimentary worldwide travel insurance. The Platinum Card supports a life of ease, security and peace of mind – for members and for those whose lives they impact. Membership is by invitation only.
