How I Booked with My Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts Stay
Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts Credit
I love when a travel perk turns into a full-on upgrade—and that’s exactly what happened when I used my American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) credit to book a luxury room for two. This wasn’t just a hotel night—it was a curated experience packed with elite benefits, all thanks to my Amex Platinum card. The best thing about booking during mid-week I was able to get two rooms for the $300 credit. If you have an Amex Platinum card, this benefit totally needs to be on your radar.

Travel Hacker Tip
If you have the Amex Platinum, don’t let your FHR credit go to waste. Even a one-night stay can unlock hundreds in value—especially if you’re pairing it with a points-based itinerary as we did.
We used points for our Zion flights and wrapped it all up with a luxury hotel night that cost us nothing out of pocket.
Final Thoughts
This booking was a perfect example of how to layer travel perks for maximum value. The Amex FHR credit will turn a simple overnight into a luxury experience—with breakfast, late checkout, and a food credit.
If you’re planning a trip through Las Vegas or any major city, check the FHR list. You might be one click away from a five-star stay—on Amex’s dime. We love this benefit. We have used it in Nashville for staycations, and it definitely makes you feel spoiled!
