Golfers! Did you know cardholders of some American Express, Mastercard and Visa credit cards have access to benefits that apply to you?
Many of you have been dreaming of resuming your golf trips.
Now it’s your turn and here’s how to enhance the experience.
The American Express, Mastercard and Visa networks offer golf benefits to their premium credit card members. Here are the cards in our sights:
Members of the Platinum Card® or the Business Platinum Card® from American Express, in addition to having access to the Fine Hotels + Resorts Program, can receive an annual travel credit of up to $200 each year on prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel collection reservations.
More than 150 hotels in or near world-class golf clubs become available to golfers and credit card holders.
An example? The magnificent Terranea Resort in California.
The benefits of the Fine Hotels + Resorts program:
Did you know that it’s best to bring your own golf balls and tees when traveling? These small items are rarely included, and you’ll pay for them (at a high cost) in resorts.
Also, be aware that a golf bag is considered luggage when flying. Take advantage of this opportunity to slip in your balls, tees, some of your toiletries, your raincoat, golf shoes etc. Also wrap your stick heads with clothing to protect them. Finally, make sure that the cover is of the rigid or semi-rigid type. That way, you can protect your equipment.
Exclusive to Mastercard credit cards, the Priceless program contains a popular offer for golf enthusiasts:
*The price varies according to the golf club. An example? The coveted The Plantation Golf Club, Florida.
Do you know the application GolfNow?
Like Tuango, the company sells “starting times” at a discount. One of our members found a tee time at Wild Fire Golf Club in Arizona for $48.00 and a beautiful course in Orlando for $8.00 including cart.
It’s hard, if not impossible, to resist this program offered by Visa Infinite Privilege credit cards.
Get ready. You will have access to private Troon golfcourses and Troon Rewards status.
25 private Troon clubs are participating.
An example? Maderas Golf Club in Poway, California
When purchasing a hotel golf package, ask if :
Are you a Marriott Bonvoy member and have earned points? Be aware that the latter, in addition to being used for accommodation, open up otherwise inaccessible experiences.
An example?
How would you like to bid on 2 VIP tickets to attend the 2022 PGA Golf Championship for 5 days? The one from Dell Technologies in Austin Texas, worth at least $1,500 USD.
How does it work?
You bet points. Other enthusiasts do it too. Bids are announced one month before the event and the highest bid wins.
Have you chosen a premium credit card ?? Congratulations. It offers benefits when joining with a welcome bonus, and when traveling such as free checked luggage and airport lounge. But there is so much more!
Do you know the ramifications of their rewards programs? We have revealed some of them to you.
Come on, golfers, your turn is coming. Spoil yourself!
