7 TPG-recommended Lululemon buys for your Q3 $75 Amex Platinum credit

Premium cards are not just about travel — they’re continuing to add lifestyle value you can use at home. The American Express Platinum Card® offers up to $75 per quarter (up to $300 per calendar year) in Lululemon statement credits.*

Whether you’re looking for casual attire, travel essentials or workout gear, here are seven items we recommend you buy with your quarterly $75 Lululemon statement credit.

*Enrollment is required, and outlets are excluded. Only applies to purchases at U.S. stores and online.

What is the Amex Platinum’s $75 Lululemon credit?

Although the Amex Platinum’s $895 annual fee (see rates and fees) may seem very high, perks like the quarterly up to $75 Lululemon statement credit (up to $300 each calendar year) help offset the cost.

The up to $75 quarterly statement credit is valid for eligible purchases made at U.S. Lululemon stores (excluding outlets) and on lululemon.com (after enrollment).

Many TPGers are big fans of Lululemon and find its clothing to be an excellent choice for travel-day outfits. It’s also comfortable for city travel and lightweight for exercise.

City Essentials Duffle Bag 28L

TPG’s CEO, Liza Landsman, uses this bag every week for commuting and business travel. She noted that the bag always “looks sleek and put together” regardless of how much is in it.

She called out the bag’s many pockets and strap for securing it to a roller bag as standout features she appreciates. While this bag costs more than the Amex Platinum’s up to $75 quarterly Lululemon statement credit, this perk will give you a significant discount, bringing the total cost under $100.

Everywhere Belt Bag 1L Clear

TPG credit cards writer Stephanie Stevens is a huge fan of the clear version of the Everywhere Belt Bag.

She feels the bag is great for stadiums or events with clear-bag policies. Best of all, it is reasonably priced and makes a great gift.

Just keep in mind that you’ll need to order two of these to cover your Amex Platinum’s up to $75 statement credit.

Soft Jersey Pullover Hoodie

TPG’s lead writer for loyalty programs, Katie Genter, used her statement credit on this hoodie. It comes in three different basic color options, making it easy to pair with a variety of outfits.

If you’re someone who gets cold easily while traveling, this hoodie could be a great item to throw on during your flight, train ride or car ride. The Amex Platinum’s up to $75 quarterly Lululemon statement credit brings the total cost down to just $23.

All Yours Organic Cotton-Blend Long-Sleeve Shirt

Katie also noted that she used a statement credit from a different quarter to purchase this long-sleeve shirt. This is a soft, casual shirt that can work for a calm day around the house, a long travel day or as a casual top for a day of sightseeing.

Keep in mind that this item is marked Final Sale, so you won’t be able to return it if it doesn’t fit or otherwise meet your expectations. However, your Amex Platinum’s shopping protections should be usable here if your item arrives damaged or not as described.

Heavyweight Soft Jersey Relaxed Fit Jogger

I used my up to $75 Lululemon statement credit for Q1 2026 on a pair of these joggers. They’re incredibly soft and feel high-quality.

If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of joggers to throw on after work or for a low-stakes gym day, these pants are hard to beat. (This is a Final Sale item.)

Smooth Spacer Classic-Fit Pullover Hoodie

TPG senior analyst Jared Nord noted that, while he already has one of these hoodies, he may pick up another, given that the price is currently within the threshold for the Amex Platinum’s up to $75 quarterly Lululemon statement credit.

Certain size and color combos may rise just above that $75 mark in price, but that means you’ll be getting an extremely steep discount. This hoodie is available in a wide range of colors, making it easy to find the right fit for you. As with some other items mentioned, this is marked Final Sale.

Groove Nulu High-Rise Flared Pant Regular

TPG’s managing editor for credit cards, Giselle Gomez, bought this item earlier this quarter. She “found them to be super comfortable for traveling,” and added she “might circle back and get them in another color.”

The price for these pants varies, so make sure to pay close attention to the total amount when adding your color choice to your cart. Depending on the color you choose, your Amex Platinum’s quarterly up-to-$75 Lululemon statement credit may not cover the entire purchase. Note that this item is also marked Final Sale.

Maximize the Lululemon credit

The Amex Platinum Card offers up to $75 in Lululemon statement credits each quarter. If you shop at the retailer only once and spend less than $75, you’ll forfeit any unused portion of the statement credit when the next quarter begins.

To maximize this benefit, first make sure you’re enrolled in the statement credit, then click through a shopping portal before making your purchase. While you’ll earn only 1 point per dollar spent with your Platinum Card, you may be able to pick up additional rewards through a shopping portal. (At the time of publication, Rakuten is not offering rewards on Lululemon purchases.)

Next, aim to use the full $75 statement credit each quarter. You don’t have to spend it all in a single transaction, and you can spread your purchases across multiple orders if needed. Since many popular Lululemon items — including jackets, pants and shirts — cost more than $75, using the entire statement credit shouldn’t be difficult.

If you buy an item you’re not happy with, consider exchanging it instead of returning it. A return could trigger a statement credit reversal, and you may not be able to use your statement credit again during that quarter.

You can also stretch your statement credit further by purchasing sale items. (Note that purchases made at Lululemon outlet locations don’t qualify.)

Finally, don’t wait until the last minute to use your quarterly statement credit. If your purchase doesn’t post before the end of the quarter, it could trigger the following quarter’s statement credit instead.
