Jet Airways American Express Platinum Card Review — India Guide

I have used the American Express Platinum Travel Credit Card for some time and after enjoying its benefits I started looking for the next best Amex card. In my view, the co-branded Jet Airways American Express Platinum card is the most compelling option to consider after the Platinum Travel card.

This card not only earns a high rate of JPMiles, it also provides access to American Express lounges in Delhi and Mumbai — a feature that appeals to frequent flyers.

Jet Airways Amex Credit Card Review

Signup Bonus

• Joining Fee: 5,000 + tax (approximately Rs. 5,750)
• Welcome Gift: 10,000 JPMiles plus a one-way complimentary Jet Airways domestic ticket with the base fare waived on your first charge

For a joining fee of around Rs. 5,750 you receive 10,000 JPMiles and a base-fare-waived domestic ticket on your first transaction. If you make use of the welcome gift, the joining fee is justified and should not be a barrier to applying.

Ongoing Benefits

1. Earn rate: 8 JPMiles for every Rs. 150 spent
2. Unlimited complimentary airport lounge access
3. Complimentary visits to 14 domestic airport lounges across 12 Indian cities
4. Complimentary access to American Express lounges in Mumbai and Delhi
5. Complimentary iPrefer Elite Tier membership from Preferred Hotels & Resorts
6. Third or fourth night complimentary at select Oberoi Hotels & Resorts properties
7. Dedicated check-in and excess baggage waiver on Jet Airways domestic flights
8. 5% discount on base fare for revenue ticket bookings made on jetairways.com

These benefits make the card attractive for frequent travelers, particularly those who value lounge access and hotel privileges.

Features of American Express Jet Credit Card

• CardExpert Rating: 4.5/5
• Reward rate: Approximately 5% value when redeemed as JPMiles
• Complementary airport lounge access: Yes — selected domestic departure lounges in India
• Foreign exchange markup fee: 3.5% + service tax
• Special features: AirMiles earning, hotel privileges, concierge services
• Personal concierge service: American Express provides 24×7 Platinum Assist and emergency card replacement globally

While other cards, such as co-branded ICICI Jet Airways products, can also earn JPMiles at competitive rates, the American Express Jet Airways Platinum card stands out for its combined travel perks — top-tier hotel benefits, complimentary stays, and comprehensive concierge services.

Bottomline

Overall, this card is an excellent choice for travelers who frequent airports. The unlimited lounge access alone can deliver significant value, and the ability to earn JPMiles without an upper cap makes it particularly appealing compared with many other Jet-branded cards.
