Though The American Express® Business Platinum CardThe card comes with a steep yearly fee of $695 (refer to rates and fees), but this expenditure offers notable benefits that can’t be overlooked.
One of the benefits is receiving up to $400 in yearly statement credits for Dell purchases made in the U.S. (with enrollment required). This $400 is divided into two parts: a statement credit of up to $200 for purchases made between January and June, and another credit of up to $200 for purchases made between July and December.
You need to sign up for the statement credit prior to using it, otherwise it will be forfeited.
This credit will refresh on July 1, so if you haven’t utilized it for the first half of the year yet, prompt action is necessary.
There are 12 items available in stock that you can purchase using your credit.

Maximizing your purchase

The conditions may indicate that you should complete your purchases via dell.com/amex if you’re utilizing an Amex Offer. Nonetheless, if you’re not eligible or discover a more advantageous promotion, you can opt to go through a cash-back portal like Rakuten (which allows you to earn American Express Membership Rewards points) to get the most out of your purchase.
Bottom line
The Dell credit of up to $200 will reset next week for the latter half of 2024, so be sure to use it by placing an order soon, or you will lose it.
