| | Amex Gold gets an upgrade | | by Becky Blaine, Managing Editor, Newsletters | |  | There’s been a lot of credit card news lately, so one update you may have missed — but definitely worth a closer look — is the recent refresh of the American Express® Gold Card. It’s already a TPG favorite because it earns an amazing 4 points per dollar spent on dining at restaurants worldwide and at U.S. supermarkets.*
Now, the card is even more rewarding for travelers, earning 5 points per dollar on prepaid hotel bookings made through amextravel.com and the Amex Travel App™ (up from 3 points per dollar), giving your stays an even bigger return.
Even better, while many card refreshes come with a higher price tag, the $325 annual fee isn’t increasing (see rates and fees), making this a rare upgrade that adds value without added cost.
And if you’ve been considering the card, timing couldn’t be better: some TPG readers have been eligible for huge offers as high as 100,000 Membership Rewards points.
Current offer: Apply to find out your offer, which could be as high as 100,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $8,000 in eligible purchases on the card in your first six months of card membership. Welcome offers vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer.
