< businessNews > - Business Insider 00:26December 12, 20196 credit card benefits that double as last-minute holiday giftsCrystal Cox/Business Insider Premium rewards credit cards like the Platinum Card® from American Express and the Business Platinum® Card from American Express offer annual statement credits.
With the Amex Platinum, you also get up to $100 in statement credits each year toward Saks Fifth Avenue purchases.
Several cards offer up to $100 in statement credit to cover the application fee for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck.
Don't forget that you can also use the points and miles from your rewards cards to book travel for other people.
See Business Insider's list of the best rewards credit cards available now » I have 14 credit cards, and no fewer than five of them offer up to $100 as a statement credit to cover the cost of applying for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck.
While I'm set with my Global Entry membership (which comes with TSA PreCheck), I was able to put one of my extra credits to use by paying for my brother's Global Entry application with my United Explorer Card. A $100 credit was reflected on my credit card statement, and my brother now enjoys expedited airport security and fast-track immigration. Not bad, especially considering the Explorer card only has a $95 annual fee!
If you need to find a last-minute gift for anyone on your list, don't overlook the benefits offered by several premium credit cards. We're not just talking Global Entry application fee credits, either; you could also use statement credits for Saks purchases, or up to an $100 Away luggage credit with the updated American Express® Green Card (when you apply by January 15, 2020 and make an eligible Away purchase in the first three months).
Keep in mind that we're focusing on the rewards and perks that make these credit cards great options, not things like interest rates and late fees, which will far outweigh the value of any points or miles. It's important to practice financial discipline when using credit cards by paying your balances in full each month, making payments on time, and only spending what you can afford to pay back. Up to $50 in Saks credits with the Amex Platinum

If you have the Amex Platinum, you can get up to $100 in statement credits each year when you use your card to shop at Saks Fifth Avenue.
The benefit is divided into two statement credits of up to $50 — one for January to June, and another for July to December. So you can get up to $50 back when you use your Amex Platinum to buy a holiday gift for someone on your list. And may I suggest, Diptyque candles ($65) make a lovely gift.

If you're not set on your gift being a surprise, it's always a nice gesture to offer to cover the cost of applying for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry (which comes with a PreCheck membership). To gift this benefit, you'll probably need to coordinate — your loved one has to make an Trusted Traveler Program account and enter a credit card number for payment.
These are some of the many credit cards that offer a Global Entry/TSA PreCheck statement credit: Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card ($95 annual fee; waived the first year)
Chase Sapphire Reserve ($450 annual fee)
The Platinum Card from American Express ($550 annual fee)
The Business Platinum Card from American Express ($595 annual fee)
