AMEX Platinum
WalMart+
no comment.
Chase has Amazon (at least for now) as does Synchrony, AMEX Platinum has Walmart.
Mmm, yeah. So much for trying to maintain an upscale branding.

I had a Walmart+ account, and it turned out to be awful. I paid annually, as I is my habit with things like this. The only reason I got it was because my Cap1 WM Rewards card sent me a 5% cash back offer for grocery shopping online at WM. Now, I don't usually shop at WM, but I've been grocery shopping online for 25-ish years, so I thought, what the hell?! And I figured if I was going to shop there, I might as well get W+ because I don't like paying delivery fees. The super-short version: it was disastrous. WM doesn't carry many of the products I routinely use, and of the few products I could buy there, they were always out of stock. Not only that, but their substitution preferences suck--and as a result, I ended up with completely unusable products because the shopper was a...well, let's just say they weren't Albert Einstein. My best example: I ordered vanilla Silk soy (or almond?) milk, i.e., VEGAN milk, right? What did the shopper bring me? Non-fat, lactose-free DAIRY milk. 
Awful, just awful...
I'm pretty surprised this actually exists. I can only hope that AMEX uses its influence to get Walmart to give up the fight on contactless payments...nah just kidding. Oh well, this is at least better than the SoulCycle nonsense.
Wow.🤔 I just don't see Amex Platinum fitting with Walmart+ and the SoulCycle credit unless the rumors of a new card between Platinum and Black turn out to be true. 🤷

In addition, you will also get an additional $300 statement credit on purchases of the SoulCycle At-Home Bike through Equinox+
Seems like the Platinum is becoming less of a travel card in mind and more for the average consumer.

I don't think the platnium is for the average consumer with an AF of $695. I am highly likely to cancel this card next summer unless they add additional travel benefits. At the $550 price point I was making a profit off this card but at $695 I feel like I can just opt for a different travel card at a lower price point and retain most of the benefits. This soucycle crap is useless to me. I would imagine it is only good for someone who was planning on buying a soulcycle anyway. The walmart+ does little for me but that is because I don't have a local walmart. I'm not sure how the fuel codes at walmart (like if you can get the gas station bonus on your credit cards at walmart) and if the fuel is of similiar cost or cheaper than other local gas stations. Maybe that would be worth it to some people depending the answers to those questions. Also, for those with prescriptions I don't know what their out of pocket is and how all that works. Maybe there is some real savings there and maybe there isn't. What I do know is that it costs me nothing to use this while I still have the card so I will add it. In addition, I have an amex offer that gives me 4 additional points on every dollar spent at walmart which I added to my plat as well. I won't go out of the way to spend at walmart but when I need to order something online I will check their website and pricing first before going to Amazon. I may be able to derive some value there as I will sometimes go to walmart to stock up on things like socks/tshirts etc. Stuff that is fairly generic which I need to buy in bulk.
