Timing and processing
– Statement credits typically post within a few days but can take up to eight weeks.
– For the credit to trigger, memberships must be purchased through the designated Platinum enrollment channel (not via the regular mobile app).
– Day passes, memberships bought through Equinox’s mobile app, and some online purchases may be excluded. If unsure, check with Amex.
Eligible and ineligible purchases
– Eligible: physical club memberships bought through the Platinum enrollment flow and Equinox+ digital subscriptions purchased via the eligible channel.
– Reported exclusions: day passes, memberships bought via the Equinox mobile app, and some other online transactions not routed through the Platinum enrollment site.
– Anecdotal reports: some members have seen credits post for spa services, but results vary—confirm with Amex if you want certainty.
Equinox+ app benefits
– Access to live and on-demand classes across categories such as cycling, HIIT, meditation, running and yoga.
– Content from Equinox brands and partners (for example, SoulCycle, Rumble, Pure Yoga, Solidcore, HeadStrong).
– Offers a home-friendly alternative to in-club workouts.
SoulCycle at-home bike credit
– As an Equinox+ and Platinum Card member, you may receive up to a $300 statement credit toward the purchase of a SoulCycle at-home bike.
– Requires an active Equinox+ membership and the bike purchase in a single transaction.
– Credit applies to up to 15 bikes per calendar year (enrollment required).
Costs to expect
– Physical Equinox memberships vary widely by location and plan — roughly $205 to $415 per month depending on whether the plan is individual, regional, all-access, or destination-based.
– Equinox+ digital subscription pricing may change; when fully covered by the $300 credit, the subscription can be effectively free for the year if the cost is within the credit limit.
Bottom line
The Amex Platinum Equinox credit is a strong perk for people who value premium gym access or a high-quality digital fitness platform. Use the Platinum enrollment site to confirm eligibility and charge membership or subscription fees to your Platinum Card to trigger the up to $300 annual statement credit. If you prefer working out at home, Equinox+ provides a wide range of classes and can be covered by the credit. Check specifics and exclusions with Amex before purchasing to ensure your transaction qualifies.
