However, there are often other benefits. Cashback offers and reward schemes are usually an element of having a Platinum card along with other incentives such as travel insurance.

For customers who often use their credit card to withdraw cash, the withdrawal limit is likely to be higher on a Platinum card. The credit limit is also likely to be higher when using the card for purchases.  Both of these advantages reflect the high income image of the Platinum card carrier.
