American Express will be releasing a special edition Platinum card in yellow instead of the standard platinum color. Any Platinum cardholder can get the yellow card by purchasing a $1,000 ticket to a black-tie event at the Brooklyn Museum on September 10th to benefit the Young Audiences Arts for Learning.
The event is hosted by rapper Pharrell Williams who has partnered with American Express since 2016 on initiatives for their Platinum card, and will feature artist Daniel Arsham, chef Dominique Crenn, and rapper Missy Elliott.
$250 of the cost is considered the estimated value of the ticket which means you’ll get a charity write-off of $750. The yellow Platinum card has all the exact same benefits as the regular Platinum card, no more and no less.
Personally, I’m not into these things related to the makeup of my credit card, but some people find them exciting. It could make sense for someone interested in attending the event and supporting the charity.
