Items to Purchase Utilizing Your Amex Business Platinum Dell Credit [Summer 2025 Edition]
In an exciting development for business owners, the Amex Business Platinum card now offers a Dell statement credit of up to $1,150 annually. This credit, updated in July 2025, can be a valuable tool for upgrading your workspace or home technology.
The Dell statement credit consists of two components: a $150 annual credit on purchases made directly through Dell's U.S. website and a $1,000 bonus credit if you spend $5,000 or more in a calendar year at Dell. Here are some strategic ways to maximize this credit:
1. **Plan Large Business Purchases Through Dell:** Since Dell offers a wide range of business technology products, consider timing and consolidating your necessary tech purchases to hit or exceed the $5,000 threshold in the calendar year. This way, you maximize the $1,000 bonus credit on top of the $150 standard credit.
2. **Split Purchases to Double Dip This Year:** Due to the mid-year change on July 1, 2025, you could potentially use the previous $200 Dell credit in the first half of the year, then take advantage of the new $150 credit plus the $1,000 bonus credit threshold after July 1. This approach allows higher overall statement credits in 2025.
3. **Buy High-Value or Multiple Items:** Dell's extensive product catalog allows for purchasing multiple items or higher-end equipment to reach the $5,000 mark efficiently.
4. **Use Dell for IT Upgrades or Expansion:** If your business is growing or upgrading IT infrastructure, leverage this credit to offset new technology costs, keeping your bottom line lower.
5. **Combine with Other Amex Business Platinum Benefits:** Use your card to gain benefits like airport lounge access, hotel credits, and airline fee credits alongside the Dell credit to maximize overall value.
It's important to note that purchases must be made directly through Dell’s U.S. website to qualify. Enrollment in the credit programs is required, and the credits are calendar year–based starting in 2026 but apply mid-year in 2025. The card carries a $695 annual fee, so maximizing these credits helps offset that cost.
Examples of items under $150 that can be purchased with the Dell credit include a 24-inch Dell monitor and a Dell Multidevice Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo. High-value items such as the Dell Pro Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock, priced at $332.99, the Alienware Tri Mode Wireless Gaming Headset at $149.99, and the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-3820 Wireless Color All-In-One Inkjet Printer at $129.99 can also be considered.
With strategic planning and smart spending, the Dell statement credit offers a significant opportunity for businesses to upgrade their technology while saving on costs. So, set calendar reminders for the end of the year to spend the Dell credit before it resets and make the most of this valuable benefit.
