Non-travel use for AmEx travel credits

With its recent validity extension, I've got 2 years' worth of AmEx travel credit on my card now. I don't foresee me travelling again before their expiry in March 2021 and was wondering if there was anything I could use the credit on other than flights and hotels.

Thanks

    They have experiences in major cities such as the Sydney harbour bridge and lunch cruises.

    • experiences have been entirely disabled without any indication of when they'll return

  • thought the travel cred is only if you use it on qantas flights.

    • For the Platinum Edge, you can use the travel credit in the AmEx travel website to get flights/ hotels, etc.

    What were the details of the validity extension please?

      • Thanks, still waiting for this email to get to me. Good to know it’s being extended again

      • Just received the same e-mail.

  • Does anyone know if you can use it on car hire? I just tried then and it's not given as an option..
