Editor's Note

This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.

Premium cards are not just about travel — they're continuing to add lifestyle value you can use at home. The American Express Platinum Card® offers up to $75 per quarter (up to $300 per calendar year) in Lululemon statement credits.*

Whether you're looking for casual attire, travel basics or workout gear, here are 10 items we recommend you buy with your quarterly $75 Lululemon credit.

*Enrollment is required, and outlets are excluded. Only applies to purchases at U.S. stores and online.

What is the Amex Platinum's $75 Lululemon credit?

Although the Amex Platinum's $895 annual fee (see rates and fees) may seem extremely high, perks like the quarterly up to $75 Lululemon credit (up to $300 each calendar year) help offset the cost.

The up to $75 quarterly statement credit is valid for eligible purchases made at U.S. Lululemon stores (excluding outlets) and on lululemon.com, after enrollment. If you don't use the credit at all or the entire amount, you'll forfeit the remainder.

Many TPGers are big fans of Lululemon and find its clothing to be an excellent choice for travel-day outfits. It's also comfortable for city travel and lightweight for exercise.

The Mat

Staying true to its origins as a yoga pants retailer, Lululemon offers a great yoga mat. It's the perfect item for the up to $75 Amex Platinum Lululemon statement credit.

It's made of natural rubber and includes a top layer that absorbs moisture to retain grip during high-sweat yoga practices. For comfort, the mat can be flipped to the cushioned side.

Maximize the Lululemon credit

The Amex Platinum Card offers up to $75 in Lululemon statement credits each quarter. If you shop at the retailer only once and spend less than $75, you forfeit the remaining amount once the next quarter begins.

To best maximize this benefit, be sure to use the entire credit per quarter. Remember, you can spread it across multiple purchases.

The average price of popular Lululemon items, such as jackets, pants and shirts, is usually above $75, so you shouldn't have an issue using the entire credit. Just be sure to purchase items each quarter; otherwise, you'll forfeit the maximum benefit amount of $300 per calendar year.

If you've purchased an item you're not happy with, consider an exchange. A return could trigger a credit reversal, and you may not be able to use your statement credit again that quarter.

Another way to maximize the credit is to check markdowns or sale items; it can be a good way to save some money and stretch your credit further. Remember, enrollment is required, and only purchases made at a U.S. Lululemon store or online at lululemon.com are eligible; purchases at Lululemon outlets don't qualify.

Finally, don't wait until the last minute to use your Lululemon statement credit. If your purchase doesn't post before the quarter ends, it may end up triggering the next quarter's statement credit instead.
