American Express Platinum CardÂŽ has always had a very special (and very flashy) look to it. Youâve got the metal construction, the Centurion Lounge access⌠the whole nine yards. And now? American Express is offering an even more exclusive product with a new mirror-finish Platinum CardÂŽ design.
If you already have the Platinum CardÂŽ in your wallet and donât want to deal with the FOMO, the good news is that you donât have to wait until your card expires.
American Express makes it pretty simple to swap your current card for the new look. The process takes just a couple of minutes and doesnât disrupt your account, credits, or benefits. Hereâs exactly how to do it.
Whatâs New With the Platinum Card Design
In case you missed it, the Amex Platinum just got a major refresh. And, this âmirror finishâ situation is just one small piece of that puzzle.
The new design doesnât change anything â itâs purely cosmetic. But letâs be honest⌠half the fun of the Platinum CardÂŽ is pulling out a metal card that makes people do a double-take, and the mirror look just doubles down there.

đ Donât Forget: The Amex Business Platinum is also eligible for the mirror-finish design. The process is identical: log in, request a replacement, and choose the updated card style.
Should You Order the New Design?
Since the cardâs features and perks are exactly the same, swapping out to the new design is totally based on your preference. If youâre keeping the Platinum CardÂŽ despite the new changes, you may as well enjoy a little something different.
Thereâs no extra cost here, so the only âriskâ is deciding whether you want the reflective mirror look of the classic brushed metal style.
Bottom Line
The Platinum CardÂŽ is all about its premium perks. It loves to be extra, so this new design isnât all that shocking. Ordering the new look takes just a few minutes, and if you have already decided the Platinum CardÂŽ earns its keep in your wallet, then updating your card is the easy part.
