Where Can I Find the American Express Restaurant List?

Where can I find the official American Express restaurant list for my card?

Find the list through the benefit page for your specific card and country; there is no single directory that covers every Amex dining credit. Start with your account’s benefits or the relevant American Express card page, then follow its directions to the participating restaurants or Resy listing.

For the U.S. Consumer Platinum Card, American Express describes a Resy statement credit of up to $100 per quarter, up to $400 annually, for eligible purchases at qualifying U.S. Resy restaurants. Enrollment is required. Amex says there are more than 10,000 qualifying U.S. Resy restaurants, but that scale does not mean every restaurant on Resy qualifies for the credit. Read the Amex explanation of the Resy credit and check the venue’s current credit eligibility.

International benefits use different lists and rules. The UK Platinum Global Dining Credit describes a handpicked selection of more than 2,000 restaurants in 20 countries, with separate annual credits for participating UK and non-UK restaurants. The Hong Kong page also distinguishes local and overseas restaurants. These programs are not extensions of the U.S. Resy credit; use the page tied to your own card and market.

Keep discovery separate from confirmation. Resy can help you find restaurants and access Global Dining Access reservations, but reservation access is not the same as statement-credit eligibility. For a broader discovery list, learn how to use a restaurant list as a starting point, then verify the benefit with Amex or Resy.

How do I search for Amex dining restaurants near me?

Search by city in the official program or Resy, then check each restaurant individually. A nearby-results map or saved list can narrow your options, but the official benefit page and the venue’s current information are the decision points.

1. Choose the right program. Identify your card and country first. A U.S. Platinum Resy credit and a UK or Australian Global Dining Credit have separate participating lists.
2. Search your city. Use the relevant Amex or Resy destination and search the city or neighborhood where you plan to eat. If the benefit page offers country or city browsing, start there.
3. Open the venue page. Look for the current indication that the restaurant qualifies for the specific credit. A Resy booking page alone may establish that reservations are available, not that your purchase is eligible.
4. Recheck before the visit. Third-party maps, saved results, and older screenshots can become stale when participation changes. Use them for discovery, then cross-check against the current official listing.

For example, a search can produce a convenient shortlist, but it cannot confirm that every venue on it remains eligible. The useful habit is “discover, verify, then pay”—three separate actions, with the last check made against the program that actually applies to your card.

Does every restaurant listed on Resy qualify for the Amex dining credit?

No; being listed on Resy is not, by itself, proof that a restaurant qualifies for an Amex dining credit. American Express describes the U.S. Platinum benefit as applying to qualifying U.S. Resy restaurants and eligible Resy purchases, which makes eligibility more specific than simply having a Resy profile.

Keep three ideas distinct: a restaurant’s presence on Resy, access to a reservation or dining experience, and eligibility for a statement credit. Amex presents Global Dining Access by Resy as reservation access and dining features, while describing the Resy credit separately. One does not automatically establish the other.

International programs add another layer. The Hong Kong Global Dining Credit terms advise checking the list before dining because it may change without prior notice, and say a restaurant must be on the list at the time of the visit. The Australian terms likewise say participation can change and advise checking the current list before dining. Treat a venue’s status as time-sensitive, not permanent.

How can I check whether a restaurant is eligible before I pay?

Use a short pre-payment check: verify the benefit, the restaurant’s current status, enrollment, and the card and transaction method. This catches the common mismatch between finding a restaurant and making a purchase that the specific credit recognizes.

For a U.S. Platinum Resy credit, Amex says enrollment is required and eligible purchases may take up to eight weeks to appear as statement credits. That timing is useful when checking a transaction afterward; it does not replace checking eligibility before paying.

Transaction rules can matter as much as the venue. The Australian benefit is for in-person dine-in transactions and excludes some purchases and payment methods, including takeaway, gift cards, and certain third-party or in-app payments. Its page specifies that participating restaurants in Japan require eligible prepaid bookings through Pocket Concierge. Hong Kong’s terms also exclude several transaction types, including takeaways and dine-at-home services. Check the terms for your market and ask the restaurant how it will process payment if the method is unclear.

Before ordering, use a direct question: “Is this location currently included in my card’s dining credit, and can I pay directly with that card for the eligible transaction?” Then compare the answer with the official listing. The cardmember terms remain the final reference, especially where a third-party map or an old saved result conflicts with the current program page.
