Which Credit Cards Have Concierge Services?

Many credit cards come with extra perks and benefits far beyond just earning points. While some of these benefits are widely known and often used, others don’t get quite as much attention.

In this article, we’re going to explore a credit card benefit that is rarely discussed and infrequently utilized: concierge services.

While not every credit card comes with concierge services, a surprising number do. Exactly how the concierge service can help varies with the type of credit card and the issuer, but it could be worth using in specific circumstances.

The best part is that you’ll have access to a concierge service without having to pay anything extra for that benefit, as long as you have the right card…

What Are Credit Card Concierge Services?

Similar to a what you may see at a hotel, concierge services offered through credit cards can help you with a variety of requests.

Concierge services are most commonly used for restaurant reservations, buying event tickets, or booking travel; however, there’s a lot more you can use concierge services for. This can include assistance with shopping, gift-basket delivery, destination-specific advice, and more.

The range of requests that can be handled through concierge services varies by card.

Typically, premium cards have more exclusive benefits than lower-level cards. As part of this, the concierge service through a premium card might have better access to restaurants due to the service’s network of contacts than a mid-tier card’s concierge.

Your credit card should come with information about the specific types of requests that are available to you. However, you can always contact the concierge to see if they can help – it just might wind up saving you time or enhancing your trip.

In order to use your credit card’s concierge service, you typically have to phone in and speak with someone regarding your inquiry. In some cases, you can reach the concierge with an email, which is much more convenient.

What Are the Best Ways to Use Credit Card Concierge Services?

Concierge services can assist with many inquiries, whether it’s helping with a future trip, assisting in an emergency, or providing you with some personal shopping advice.

Generally speaking, concierge services save you time or give you access to something you can’t access on your own.

Contacting a concierge to get information for an upcoming trip can also be very useful, especially if you’re not familiar with the destination. You can ask for restaurant recommendations, car rental price comparisons, or the top things to do in a city you’ve yet to visit.

However, the truth is that most of the time you contact the concierge looking for information, the person on the other end is likely just googling the answer for you. Since it can take up to 24 hours to get back to you, it isn’t very helpful for time-sensitive requests.

Now, this isn’t to say that concierge services aren’t valuable, but you’re likely to save more time by just searching for the information on your own.

On the other hand, when planning an upcoming trip, you can think about what information you might need that’s easy for you to find on your own, versus what you can request from a concierge to save you time.

For example, if you need to contact a hotel to put in a special request for your upcoming stay, it’s not always easy to know the best number to call or person to talk to. By contacting your credit card’s concierge service, you can leave all of that communication up to them.

As for getting access to things you might not have access to yourself, this is where concierge services can actually go a long way.

Some concierges may have pre-existing relationships built with certain restaurants, hotels, airlines, or event venues.

This can certainly be true with trying to secure hard-to-find tickets to sporting events or performances, or reservations at some high-end restaurants. Even if they don’t have any special connections, they can still help you get the results that you may not have been able to get yourself.

Taking our previous example of using a concierge service to contact a hotel on your behalf, you’re giving yourself a better chance at getting what you want. This is because hotels might respond more favourably when there’s a professional concierge making the request on your behalf rather than you trying on your own.

While you’re on your trip, concierge services can also help with emergency assistance, such as lost passports, medical referrals, and other such requests.

Even if you’re not travelling, you can use concierges to help with personal shopping, gift sourcing and delivery, or really anything else you can think of, as long as it falls within the concierge’s scope.

Which Credit Cards Offer Concierge Services?

Concierge is a free service provided to cardholders, as long as you hold a credit card that comes with this benefit. With some cards, you’ll need to call in to access the concierge, while with others, you can simply send an email.

The utility and scope of the concierge service varies by card, so we’ll go over the services offered by many popular credit cards, as well as some examples of how (or how not) the concierge service has been able to help, as sourced through the Prince of Travel community.

American Express Platinum Concierge

Perhaps the most commonly recognized credit card concierge service is offered as a benefit if you have one of the American Express Platinum Cards.

There are only two publicly available Canadian American Express cards that give you access to this service:

• American Express Platinum Card
• American Express Business Platinum Card

In order to access the American Express concierge service, you have to call the number on the back of your American Express Platinum Card and select the concierge service when prompted.

If you submit a concierge request that can’t be immediately answered, the American Express concierge personnel will get back to you within a set amount of time via email with the information or solution to your request.

In practice, we’ve heard many reports that the American Express concierge isn’t as helpful as other services. Part of this comes from having to call in for the concierge service rather than sending in a request by email, but in general, the Amex Platinum concierge seems to not pull through as often as we’d like.

Despite the high expectations that might come from a premium credit card, many users have been directed to find the requested information themselves, or reported that Amex hasn’t been able to come through with a reservation at a restaurant.

Visa Infinite Concierge

If you have a Visa Infinite or Visa Infinite+ card from any bank, you’ll have access to the Visa Infinite concierge service. If it’s your first time using the service, you’ll have to create a new portfolio over the phone, which takes around five minutes to complete.

If you’re in Canada, the toll-free number to call is 1-888-853-4458, and outside of Canada, you can call collect to 1-630-350-4545.

While the full list of all Visa Infinite cards with Concierge services can be found on the Visa Infinite website, some of the more popular cards include the following: 

• CIBC Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card
• CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite* Card
• RBC® Avion Visa Infinite^†
• Scotia Momentum® Visa Infinite* Card
• Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite* Card
• TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card 
• TD Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card

Generally speaking, the Visa Infinite concierge receives high praise from the community. This includes assistance with finding better deals on high-end products, such as perfume, as well as pulling through on requests more often than other cards.

Given that Visa Infinite products are mid-tier credit cards, it’s good to know that they punch above their weight in terms of concierge services.

Visa Infinite Privilege Concierge

If you have a Visa Infinite Privilege card, which is the next tier up from a Visa Infinite in the Visa credit card lineup, you’ll have access to a dedicated Visa Infinite Privilege concierge service.

While the concierge service appears to be the same as the Visa Infinite concierge service, there is a different number to call. You can call toll-free from Canada and the US at 1-855-822-1240, and outside of Canada, you can call collect to 1-303-967-1036.

Since Visa Infinite Privilege credit cards tend to come with a higher annual fee, and given that there is a dedicated phone number and team, it wouldn’t be surprising if you get special treatment when using the Visa Infinite Privilege concierge service over the Visa Infinite service.

The full list of Visa Infinite Privilege credit cards that are eligible for this service can be found on the Visa Infinite Privilege website, and the more popular cards are as follows:

• CIBC Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card
• CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card
• RBC® Avion Visa Infinite Privilege^†
• Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card
• TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card

By all indications, you can expect to have your queries and requests resolved by Visa Infinite Privilege concierges, in a manner similar to what’s offered through Visa Infinite concierges.

Scotiabank Concierge

Other than Scotiabank Visa Infinite cards that have access to concierges through the Visa Infinite Concierge Service, Scotiabank has two other publicly available credit cards that come with this benefit:

• Scotiabank Gold American Express Card
• Scotiabank Platinum American Express Card

(Keep in mind that the Scotiabank Gold and Scotiabank Platinum American Express cards are different from American Express’s own Gold and Platinum cards.)

Some of the general concierge services provided to eligible cardmembers are similar to those of other cards, such as assistance with a wide range of travel reservations, as well as some of the following, as detailed by Scotiabank:

• Private planes
• Concert tickets
• Sporting event tickets
• Tee times
• Cultural information
• Personal assistants
• Luminary experiences
• Meet and greet services
• Styling sessions

Similar to all of the concierge services we’ve covered thus far, there are no extra charges to access Scotiabank’s concierge service. All you have to do is hold an eligible card. The service is provided by Ten Lifestyle Management, and each card has its own dedicated phone line: call 1-866-586-2805 for the Scotiabank Platinum American Express Card, or 1-866-800-5160 for the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card.

From the community, there are reports that the Scotiabank concierge service tends to come through with requests, albeit at a lesser frequency than the Visa Infinite concierge.

World Elite Mastercard Concierge

Unlike Visa Infinite cards, which all come with concierge access built in, concierge service on a World Elite Mastercard in Canada depends on the card issuer. Mastercard does operate a World Elite Mastercard Concierge in Canada, provided by Ten Lifestyle Management and available 24/7 in both English and French at 1-888-875-3225. However, not every Canadian World Elite Mastercard enrols in the program, so it’s worth checking with your card issuer to confirm whether you have access.

If you hold a US-issued World Elite Mastercard, you can also access the service through the World Elite Concierge website.

World Legend Mastercard Concierge

World Legend is Mastercard’s newest and highest card tier, sitting above World Elite, and it comes with the most extensive concierge and lifestyle benefits in the Mastercard lineup. In Canada, the first World Legend card is the Rogers Red World Legend Mastercard, which launched in March 2026.

World Legend cardholders get a complimentary 24/7 Mastercard concierge service for bookings, reservations, and other requests, delivered through the same Ten Lifestyle Management network that powers Mastercard’s other concierge tiers. Since the tier is still new in Canada, it’s best to confirm the exact contact details through your card issuer or the welcome materials that come with your card.

Conclusion

Concierge services may not be the deciding factor of whether or not to sign up for a specific credit card, especially when there’s already so much information and tools available to us online.

However, it’s still a useful benefit that can save you time and get you access to events, reservations at restaurants, and special requests granted at hotels, that you may not be able to get on your own.

Calling your preferred concierge service to get information on the best restaurants in a city you’re traveling to, send a gift basket to a loved one, or book a tee time, can be a valuable resource that can make your life just a little bit easier.

In the best-case scenario, you’ll score something that may have otherwise been hard to get, whereas at the very least, you may have saved yourself some time by having someone else cross something off of your to-do list.
