The American Express Platinum card is one of the best cards out there. While it carriers a very hefty annual fee ($450) for both the Personal and Business versions, it has some of the best benefits and travel-related services that are very value-add. Here’s a quick list of what the $450 a year will get you:

• Global Entry Fee Credit ($100 one-time value)
• Upgrade to Starwood Preferred Guest Gold (typically requires 10 stays or 25 nights per year)
• $200 Airline Fee Credit Annually ($200 value, but did it really need saying?–covers incidental charges for the airline of your choice)
• Access to airport lounges
  • Free Priority PassTM Select membership (~$399 value, offers access to 700+ airport lounges worldwide)
  • The Centurion^SM Lounge 
  • Delta SkyClubs ($450 value)
  • AirSpace Lounges
• Access to FINE HOTELS & RESORTS program (favorable rates, benefits and packages at participating properties)
• International Airline Program: “Enjoy a companion offer anytime you purchase a qualifying Business or First Class ticket for international air travel on over 20 participating airlines.”
• Rental car privileges
  • Hertz: access to discount code that gives you 4 hours free per rental (i.e. rent from 12pm to 4pm the following day, a 28 hour rental and only be charged for 1-day)
  • National: free membership to Emerald Club Executive (typically requires 12+ rentals/year)

Back in March 2014, American Express announced that it would be adding a new benefit to the card: Free access to Boingo Wi-Fi hotspots:

Well, June 2014 is here and it’s time to register.

The Deal

If you’re an American Express Platinum cardholder, you can register for free Boingo WiFi access:

How to Get It

3. If you entered an AMEX Platinum card number you should be all set
   
4. Create a user name and password and you’re all done!

This is a great new feature from American Express and Boingo. From what I can tell, it is closest to their $59/month plan:

For some travelers, this is an appx $9.95 value assuming you only need coverage in North and South America

For those whose travel spans the globe, this is really most like their $59/mo plan but even better because it gives you unlimited minutes vs 2,000 minutes
