How to Use Amex Global Dining Access by Resy
Global Dining Access is a benefit for eligible American Express premium cards. Add the card to your Resy wallet to unlock reservations held for cardholders and Priority Notify when tables open.
The short answer
Global Dining Access is a benefit for eligible American Express premium cards, activated by adding your card to your Resy wallet. Once it is in place, it unlocks exclusive reservations that participating restaurants hold for cardholders, plus Priority Notify when tables open.
It widens your access at participating venues. It does not guarantee any specific table on any given night.
How to set it up
- Open Resy and add your eligible American Express card to your account wallet.
- Adding the card triggers a small temporary verification charge that is voided.
- Once verified, cardholder-held reservations and Priority Notify become available at participating venues.
What it does and does not do
The benefit improves access: it surfaces inventory set aside for cardholders and bumps you up the Notify line. It is not a guarantee of a particular seat, and the most in-demand rooms can still be tight even with it active.
Note also that The Platinum Card carries a separate Resy dining credit, which is distinct from Global Dining Access. The credit is a statement benefit; Global Dining Access is about reservation availability.
Global Dining Access widens the door. Rose makes sure you are the one who walks through it the moment a table opens.
Frequently asked
What does Global Dining Access actually unlock?
It surfaces reservations that participating restaurants hold specifically for eligible American Express cardholders, and it gives you Priority Notify when tables open. It improves access rather than guaranteeing a specific table.
Why was my card charged when I added it?
Adding the card to your Resy wallet triggers a small temporary verification charge, which is voided. It is a standard verification step, not a fee for the benefit.
Is Global Dining Access the same as the Platinum Resy credit?
No. The Platinum Card's Resy dining credit is a separate statement benefit. Global Dining Access is about reservation availability and Priority Notify at participating venues.
