Robinhood Bets on Premium Platinum with $695 Card, but Amex Platinum Still Sets Travel Standard

Robinhood launches a $695 Platinum card aimed at its investing-following customers, offering cash-back that can be reinvested and a suite of travel/dining credits; American Express Platinum remains the premium benchmark at an $895 fee with extensive travel credits, lounge access, and transferable Membership Rewards. Early reviews suggest the Amex card delivers broader value for frequent travelers, while Robinhood’s offering may appeal to existing users, but it generally falls short on travel perks compared with Amex.
