AMEX PLATINUM

Look, if you’re going to travel and you want to live that influencer lifestyle you see on Instagram and TikTok, you might as well flash the single best credit-card on the planet when checking into the cave pool suite at Cavo Tagoo on Mykonos or paying for those overhyped steaks at Salt Bae’s Nusr-Et eatery in Beverly Hills.

The perks packed into an Amex Platinum are too numerous to name. More than $1,100 in annual credits for purchases such as Uber, airline fees, and digital entertainment subscriptions. Airport lounge access all over the world (critical on long-haul layovers, or when you need to work before a flight). Insurance. Upgrades. Elite hotel status. Only thing this card doesn’t do it clean your Airbnb before check out.

Yeh, it’s a pricey piece of metal. But when you’re nomadic, the perks and benefits of Amex Platinum far outweigh the cost and more than cover the card’s annual fee.
