Yes, the American Express Platinum Card provides a statement credit to cover the application fee for either TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. In 2026, the credit typically amounts to up to $120 for Global Entry or up to $85 for TSA PreCheck, available once every four to four and a half years depending on the specific card version. To utilize this benefit, you simply pay the application fee with your Platinum Card, and the credit is automatically applied to your statement within a few weeks. Notably, because Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck as a bundled benefit, many cardholders choose the Global Entry option to receive both domestic expedited screening and international expedited customs clearance. This perk is also available to "Additional Card Members" on the account, meaning multiple people in a family can benefit from the credit if they each have their own authorized user card.
