Your platinum or premium credit card could have a concierge service as one of its benefits. This means that services such as reserving hotels, booking flights, getting tickets for shows and finding travel information are just an email or phone call away, and at no charge to you.
According to Simon Sule, the Founder of Credit Card NZ, a credit card concierge service is like having a virtual personal assistant available to you every day of the year. Your credit card concierge can help you with most tasks that involve using your credit card to make a payment online or over the phone.
Now, don’t let this benefit go to waste. Here is how you can take advantage of your credit card concierge service.
To find tickets
Do you need tickets for a fully booked entertainment, show, sports or cultural event? Let your credit card concierge service find the tickets for you. It could be that you don’t have enough time to find the tickets or the event is so booked that it is difficult to get tickets.
You could be surprised to get tickets for an already sold-out event. Usually, the concierge service has connections that help to pull the strings.
Use it to make reservations
Do you have plans to go out for dinner? The concierge can make dinner reservations for you. If you are not specific about a particular restaurant, the concierge can make a few reservations so that you can choose the one you prefer.
It also comes in handy if you are looking for specific services such as a hotel with a private room or one that caters for a particular dietary restriction.
You could be traveling and you want to make a massage or spa reservation yet you don’t know the best in the new area. Just give the concierge service a call.
Use it to find information
You don’t have time to find out about events, festivals, attractions, and restaurants? The concierge service can do that for you. They can research and give you the information you need.
They will make calls for you to find out information that you need.
The concierge service can also search for information that is not readily available. For instance, if you are traveling, you may want to find out information about local events or to research details concerning your travels.
Shopping and gifts
Do you want to buy a gift or to know the best places for shopping? The concierge service can buy gifts and deliver them for you.

Use it to make travel arrangements
Do you plan to travel? You don’t have to worry about making travel arrangements if you possess a credit card? Just use the concierge service.
