Maximizing Your AE Platinum Benefits: A Journey Through Equinox

At the end of last year, while organizing my credit card benefits, I stumbled upon a delightful surprise—my AE Platinum card offered a $300 credit for Equinox that I hadn’t used yet! Even though the membership fees are nearly as extravagant as a “luxury Netflix,” 😂 this $300 credit was just enough to cover one month’s dues. But why let free money go to waste? I decided it would be better utilized for gift cards and to experience what has been dubbed as the “most expensive gym” in history.

My First Visit: A Look Inside Equinox

Upon my first visit, I was absolutely astounded to see the valet parking full of luxury cars! 🚗 A quick tour inside made me feel like I was venturing into a club where I wasn’t quite worthy of a membership. Talk about impressive surroundings!

Steps to Enjoying Your Equinox Gift Card

Here’s how you can make the most out of your AE Platinum $300 credit:

1. Login to Your AE Account: Head to the “benefit” page to register for Equinox’s electronic membership and start your 7-day free trial.
2. Recharge Your Gift Card: Once you’re in-store, use your membership number to load the $300 onto a gift card.
3. Shop and Enjoy: Use your gift card to purchase Equinox merchandise, such as workout apparel and accessories, or even treat yourself to a spa experience!

Bonus Tips for Extra Savings!

• Yearly Benefits: By strategically using my two AE Platinum cards in 2024 and 2025, I’ve managed to accumulate a whopping total of $1,120 in gift card value along with one month of free membership.
• Birthday Month Discounts: If you make a purchase during your birthday month, you can stack an additional 15% discount on top of your existing credit, giving you even more bang for your buck!
