American Express has changed the terms of the Resy dining credit on The
Platinum Card and the American Express Gold. As of August 1, 2026, a U.S.
restaurant or other food and beverage business has to be flagged as eligible
for the Resy Credit on the Resy website or app at the time of purchase for the
charge to trigger the credit. The terms also say eligibility can change at any
time.
The credits themselves are unchanged. Platinum cardholders still get up to
$100 per quarter, or $400 a year, and Gold cardholders still get up to $50 semiannually, or $100 a year. Both require enrollment. What is newis that the venue has to carry the eligibility badge when you pay.
How many restaurants are affected
Doctor of Credit reported on the day the change went live that roughly 200
of about 10,000 locations on Resy were listed without the eligibility badge.
That is a small share, but the venue list is not fixed and Amex can adjust it.
American Express addressed the change in a statement in June, saying it added
a Resy Credit eligible badge to venue pages for clarity at booking and that it
had not removed venues that were eligible at that point. Amex also said more
eligible venues would be added later this year as Tock restaurants become
bookable through Resy.
What cardholders should do
Check the venue page in the Resy app before you pay. Eligible restaurants now
display a line confirming the venue qualifies for the Resy Credit. Because the
status is checked at the time of purchase rather than at booking, a venue that
showed the badge when you reserved is not guaranteed to still carry it when
the bill arrives.
