American Express Business Platinum Card: How To Use The $120 Annual Wireless Credit?

American Express Canada offers an Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120 to Business Platinum Cardmembers.

Only this American Express Card is eligible for this Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120. The retail version, the American Express Platinum Card^®, therefore does not have this Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120 (but the latter does have a $200 Annual Dining Credit).

The Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120 is a new benefit available since October 01, 2023 for Business Platinum Cardmembers^®.

Each month, Business Platinum Cardmembers will have a $10 Wireless Credit, which must be used with one of Canada’s eligible wireless service providers.

So, by using your $10 Wireless credit monthly, you’ll earn up to $120 as a Wireless Credit per year!

The Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120 is only available to the primary Business Platinum Cardmember. Additional Cardmembers cannot access the Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120.

To use the Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120, you will need to log into your Business Platinum Card^® from American Express online account or via the American Express Canada mobile app.

Then, sign up for the American Express “Up to $120 Annual Wireless Credit” online offer like any other American Express online offer.

Spend at least $10 and earn a $10 credit per month

After that, you won’t have to sign up for the offer again to benefit from the Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120: the sign-up will be automatic after that initial registration.

It’s American Express’ way of introducing you to the American Express online offers!

Once you’ve registered for the online offer, you can use your Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120 with any eligible mobile service provider.

Pay your monthly bill with the Business Platinum Card^® from American Express. In addition to the Annual Wireless Credit, you’ll earn 1.25 points per dollar for your mobile service payment, as is the case with all purchases with the Business Platinum Card^® from American Express.

With most mobile service providers, you can prepay your bill for any amount you wish. For example, you could prepay your bill each month for an amount equal to or greater than $10 to benefit from the $10 monthly Wireless credit. And pay the rest of your bill with the credit card of your choice.

Otherwise, to ensure you don’t forget this monthly payment, it’s best to add your Business Platinum Card^® from American Express as a pre-authorized payment for your wireless bill! Here is an example of a $10 Monthly Wireless Credit following a mobile billing by Bell on my Business Platinum Card^® from American Express:

So, it’s like you’ve just lowered your mobile bill by $10, every month, as long as you’re a Business Platinum Cardmember and enrolled in the offer!

Finally, you should know that if you don’t use your $10 monthly Wireless credit by the end of the month, it will be forfeited. You’ll get a new one the following month.

The Annual Wireless Credit of up to $120 offered by the Business Platinum Card^® from American Express is just one of the many benefits provided by the Card.

Effective October 1, 2023, Basic Business Platinum Cardmembers will have access to the $120 CAD Annual Wireless Credit. Enrolled Cardmembers will be eligible to receive a maximum of $120 CAD in statement credits on spend at eligible National Mobile Service Providers and their wholly owned subsidiaries, as defined by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), and Sasktel. Eligible Wireless Providers are subject to change and are required to accept American Express Cards in Canada.

Spend a minimum of $10 CAD a month, receive a $10 CAD statement credit, up to 12 times in a 12-month period, up to a maximum of $120 CAD. A one-time enrolment is required for the $120 Annual Wireless Credit through Amex Offers and Cardmembers will automatically be enrolled for future redemption periods and do not need to re-enroll. Each month is a separate redemption period.

Must first register your Card to the offer and use same Card to make qualifying purchase(s) after registering in order to receive the statement credit. A purchase made during the benefit period prior to registration of your eligible Card for this benefit is not a qualifying purchase.

Any credit not redeemed during the applicable redemption period will not roll over to the following redemption period and will expire.

Your Card must be charged prior to the end of each redemption period (the 28th, 29th, 30th or 31st of the respective month, depending on the applicable month) to be eligible for the credit within that redemption period. Purchases made by the last day of the month but charged to the registered Card after that day may not count towards eligible spend for that month (for example, if a purchase is made on or before the last day of the month but charged by the merchant on a date that occurs after the last day of the month or if there is a time difference).

If this occurs, that purchase will count towards eligible spend for the next month.

This benefit is available to Basic Business Platinum Cardmembers only. If you switch to a new Card product that is not eligible for this benefit, enrolment will be removed from your Card account. If you are no longer eligible for this benefit, due to a change in account status including but not limited to fraudulent flags, suspension, or cancellation, it will be removed from your account.

Valid only on purchases for monthly wireless telephone service charges made directly from an eligible wireless telephone service provider in Canada. For a list of eligible National Mobile Service Providers, as defined by the CRTC, please visit https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/comm/fourprov.htm. For more information on the designation of National Mobile Service Providers, please review the regulatory policy at https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2021/2021-130.htm.

Any purchases from third parties, authorized retailers or resellers, payment account or service of a third party, a card reader attached to a mobile phone and online aggregators, are excluded. Bundled services offered by the above Wireless companies for TV, Internet and VoIP and VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) services may be excluded. Purchases must be made in Canadian dollars to be eligible. Benefit limited to the Card to which the offer is saved and only spend on this Card counts towards the benefit. Transactions made with a Supplementary Card are not eligible for the credit.

Credit should appear on your billing statement within 5 business days from qualifying spend but may take up to 5 months. Credit may be reversed if your qualifying purchase is refunded or cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit.

If you have any questions about merchant eligibility, call the number on the back of your Card.

A statement credit does not constitute a payment and does not satisfy the requirement to pay the minimum due on a credit card. The Basic/Primary Cardmember must continue to make separate payments of at least the minimum due in accordance with the Cardmember Agreement and account statement applicable to their registered Card account.
