The Amex Platinum Equinox+ credit doesn't get talked about much, probably because it requires actually subscribing to a fitness app. But if you're already paying for Equinox+ — or would realistically use it — the math is straightforward: $25 per month toward a $39.99/month subscription, so your net cost is about $15/month. That's $300/year in credits against a $179.88/year out-of-pocket cost. For four months in, you should have roughly $100 in credits already posted (January through April). The Mechanics The credit applies to your Equinox+ digital app membership — not a physical Equinox gym membership. If you have a full gym membership, Equinox+ is often included, which makes this credit redundant. The app is the standalone digital product at $39.99/month. The $25 monthly credit covers part of that charge. The remaining ~$15 comes out of your own pocket. The credit posts as a statement credit within 5-7 business days after the monthly charge. One important sequencing note: enroll in the benefit through your Amex account before subscribing to Equinox+. Credits don't apply retroactively to charges that posted before enrollment. Log into your Amex account, go to Benefits, find the Equinox+ Credit tile, and enroll. Then head to equinox.com and sign up using your enrolled Platinum card. What's on the App Equinox+ is on-demand fitness: strength training, HIIT, yoga, Pilates, cycling (pairs with a Peloton or similar), meditation, and guided running programs.
