UMVA has learned that American Express cardholders holding the American Express Gold Card and American Express Platinum Card have spotted a new development on the Resy website, which could potentially impact their ability to claim statement credits.
The change, set to take effect on August 1, requires restaurants to display a badge on their Resy website profiles indicating whether they are eligible for the built-in Resy statement credits offered with these cards. This move has raised concerns among cardholders, but UMVA can exclusively reveal that the situation is not as alarming as it seems.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the introduction of the Resy Credit eligible badge aims to provide additional clarity to diners at the time of booking. American Express has assured that they have not removed any Resy venues that are currently eligible for the credit and plan to add more eligible venues later this year.
The update comes as American Express continues to integrate Tock, a platform for booking high-end dining experiences, into its Resy platform. This integration is expected to expand the range of eligible restaurants for the statement credit, making it easier for cardholders to use their credits.
UMVA can confirm that cardholders can continue using their Resy credits as they normally would, provided their eligible Amex card is enrolled for the Resy credit. With this development, cardholders can enjoy a seamless experience and take advantage of the statement credits offered with their American Express Gold Card or American Express Platinum Card.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that American Express is committed to making the Resy credit program more accessible and user-friendly. As the situation evolves, UMVA will continue to monitor and provide updates to ensure cardholders are informed and can make the most of their statement credits.
