Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Platinum Card\u00ae<\/sup>‘s $895 annual fee (Rates & Fees<\/a>) is a steep price to pay, but the card is loaded with perks. And some of those perks offer their own perks \u2014 like a free Paramount+ or Peacock Premium subscription from your Walmart+ membership!<\/p>\n

While a $12.95\/month subscription probably isn't going to move the needle for many cardholders, it's a nice perk to take advantage of nonetheless.<\/p>\n
