American Express Platinum Charge cardholders can now enjoy a complimentary 12-month Comoclub C5 membership, with special benefits across the entire COMO Group including COMO Hotels and Resorts, COMO Shambhala, COMO Lifestyle and Club 21. 

Even if you don’t see yourself staying at a COMO hotel or dining at a COMO restaurant anytime soon, listen up because there’s free money in it that boosts the annual value of your AMEX Platinum Charge significantly.

AMEX Platinum Charge offering Comoclub C5 membership

AMEX x COMO

From 27 April 2023 to 31 December 2024, AMEX Platinum Charge cardholders (both principal and supplementary) can receive an automatic upgrade to the Comoclub C5 membership tier, bypassing the usual S$50,000 minimum spending requirement. 

C5 membership is valid for 12 months upon successful application. In other words, if you don’t see yourself utilising the benefits right away, there’s no need to jump the gun. You can sign up any time from now till 31 December 2024. 

To retain your C5 membership beyond 12 months, you’ll need to spend at least S$25,000 on eligible transactions during your complimentary membership period.

What benefits do Comoclub members enjoy?

Tier	Qualification	Renewal
C1	–	–
C2	S$800	S$800
C3	S$8,000	S$4,000
C4	S$15,000	S$7,500
C5	S$50,000	S$25,000
C6	S$100,000	S$50,000

The Comoclub has six different tiers, running from C1 (lowest) to C6 (highest).

Here’s the benefits that C5 members enjoy:

In addition to this, members also enjoy birthday perks, which is where things get really interesting: 

• S$200 shopping vouchers at Club21 Singapore, Kids21 Singapore and Dover Street Market Singapore
• S$40 dining voucher at COMO Dempsey
• S$20 grocery voucher for SuperNature Singapore or Culina Market Singapore
• COMO Shambhala signature Invigorate essential oil and mask diffuser
• Corkage waiver at COMO Dempsey
• DrHair deep cleansing scalp treatment
• Full-day Maserati driving experience

According to the T&Cs, the S$200 shopping vouchers (note: T&Cs mention S$300, but that’s probably a typo because S$200 is mentioned repeatedly elsewhere), S$40 dining vouchers and S$20 grocery vouchers are valid for two months from date of issue, and no minimum spend is mentioned.

In other words, that’s S$260 of extra value right there, and since AMEX Platinum Charge cardholders enjoy two complimentary supplementary cards, it’s basically S$780! Granted, it’s only good for one year, but even if/when you drop to C4 status in the following year, you still get a S$100 shopping voucher, S$20 dining voucher and S$10 grocery voucher, so that’s S$390 over three cards in the second year. 

That’s not even mentioning the full-day Maserati driving experience (no details are provided in the T&Cs, unfortunately)!

Birthday treats will be credited to the wallet section of the Comoclub app (Android | iOS), 10 days before your birthday. 

Conclusion

AMEX Platinum Charge cardholders can now enjoy a 12-month complimentary Comoclub membership, which comes with various perks including S$260 of vouchers per year, per card. Since each principal card comes with two complimentary supplementary cards, this is basically an extra S$780 value per year.  

Remember, there’s no need to rush to register (unless perhaps you’re concerned about COMO nerfing the birthday perks), because the offer is valid up till 31 December 2024.
