Amex’s New Resy Credit Twist: The Unexpected Move That Won’t Hurt Your Wallet—Here’s the Real Deal
So, picture this: you’re gearing up for a cozy night out, scrolling through Resy to snag a table, when bam — a new badge pops up, signaling whether a restaurant qualifies for your precious Amex Resy credit. Suddenly, that straightforward little perk on your American Express Gold or Platinum card seems to be wearing new clothes. What’s going on here? Should you panic, or just grab your fork and carry on? I dug into this curious change, unearthed the real story behind those badges, and found out why your beloved statement credits aren’t disappearing into thin air after all. Spoiler alert: It’s less of a shake-up and more of a tidy-up, making sure things stay crystal clear when you book your dining adventures. Ready to dive into what’s really happening with your Amex Resy credits and why you can keep enjoying those delicious savings? Let’s unpack it together. LEARN MORE
Over the weekend, some eagle-eyed Amex cardholders noticed new language indicating that, beginning Aug. 1, restaurants would need to display a badge on the Resy website showing whether they were eligible for the built-in Resy statement credits* on the American Express® Gold Card (up to $50 biannually) and American Express Platinum Card® (up to $100 quarterly).
Understandably, that raised some eyebrows.
Fortunately, the sky isn’t falling with this easier-to-use statement credit, and the change doesn’t appear to make the credit any harder to use.
If some Resy restaurants qualified for the credit while others did not, it would add unnecessary complexity to what has historically been one of the easiest Amex statement credits to use — especially if the list of eligible restaurants were to fluctuate or shrink.
*Enrollment required, for use at U.S. Resy restaurants

The good news: Your Resy credit isn’t losing restaurants
Thankfully, American Express confirmed to TPG that there is no major cause for alarm. In a statement shared with TPG on Monday, Amex said:
“We have added a Resy Credit eligible badge to Resy venues pages to provide additional clarity to diners at the time of booking. We have not removed Resy venues that are eligible today and will be adding more eligible venues later this year when Tock venues become bookable on Resy.”
That means that you should be able to keep using your Resy credits as you have before.
American Express acquired Tock, a platform for booking high-end dining experiences, wineries, and more. And Resy, also owned by American Express, is now integrating Tock venues into its platform.
TPG will continue monitoring the situation and will share updates as they become available. For now, make sure your eligible Amex card is enrolled for the Resy credit and continue using the credit as you normally would.
