There are talks that suggest American Express is in the process of adding a new benefit to Amex Platinum credit cards. Equinox is a high end fitness company which operates several lifestyle brands, including Equinox Hotels, Precision Run, Equinox Media, Blink Fitness, and SoulCycle. Equinox also offers popular on-demand classes via a new app called ‘Variis by Equinox’. The app costs $40 per month and Amex Platinum cardholders will have their Equinox Variis fees reimbursed on a monthly basis.
