NEW Amex Gold Card - HUGE Update

In this video we’re looking at the recent changes to the Amex Gold Card. The American Express Gold Card is one of the most popular credit cards on the market, but with its new $325 annual fee, it might not be the best credit card for you. We’ll go over some of the details of the new Amex Gold Card here.

I feel like they Amex should have respected its current members by honoring the $250 annual fee and only charge the new fee of $325 to new members/applicant’s

[GunCultureUSA]

I think I’ll be canceling this card. What a bunch of useless credits. I was on the fence at $250. $325 is a deal breaker.

They should’ve brought back the $100 airline credit. That’s all we asked for.

[EdwinTX]

I think if the credits were all given upfront or at least you’re given the option to save them every month, that would make the coupon book much more worth it

[randallraines]

The Dunkin Donut credit is just so pathetic. I refuse to drive to dunkin donut just to redeem a $7 credit 😂 what the hell is AMEX thinking? 🤔

It’s also annoying knowing that every few years Amex will increase your AF. Won’t be long before this card is $500

Wow get this. I went to my local Five Guys and I thought the guy charged me three times because the receipt wasn't printing and I swiped three times all approved. A girl comes over and says we don't take American Express, I go what, but you have a big promo with Amex.

$325 for a non-travel card is unacceptable. With the Venture X priced at $400, it makes no sense to have the AMEX Gold

[manny]

So, instead of increasing the multiplyers to 5x they decide to cap them and raise the fee 🤔 yeah no, that's not gonna fly with me

Amex became a fad around 2020. They are making record profits and are now getting a big head. Let’s see how it plays out

[HGRAP]

Feels like they are increasing the fees of the Platinum and Gold, so they can introduce a lower end card with an annual fee around $150.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we see a “Silver/Bronze Amex” in a year or so.

They added the cap on groceries because Mr. Beast was buying out whole stores

[michealmccallion]

Definitely cancelling this card next year. Lucked out and renewal is in September. At $250 I wasn’t sure but we eat out enough and spend on groceries recently. Was easily enough to cover the fee plus extra. Living in rural Kansas there is literally nothing this car offers for you outside the 4x points.

This seems to be contrary to the rest of the comments but these changes make the card so much better for me. I wasn’t able to use the dining credits at all before but now with Five Guys I can. And the Resy bonus will be maxed out for me. Like you, I prefer the smaller coffee shops but there is a Dunkin’ a few blocks from me so it’ll be a little free treat every month. I went from a $130EAF to close to $0 now. And the white gold is cold 🥶

I was pleasantly surprised at how many restaurants in Chile and Argentina accepted my Gold Card last month. And I used the 3X flights for Aerolíneas Argentinas and LATAM.

The Dunkin credit is the most baffling thing to me. Something like Starbucks would have made way more sense. There are no Dunkins in the northwest section of the US where I live. Zero. I’m closer to more Tim Hortons than I am any Dunkins.
Adding insult to injury, Dunkin doesn’t even sell their own coffee online. You are directed to buy it through third parties like Amazon or Target. Which is just crazy. So I can’t even use the credit that way.

Current cardholder locked in w/ the $250 annual fee. Plan to keep for 1 additional year then cancel. New credits aren’t useful for me.

[spida]

Well sadly i will be canceling my gold card😢

[prl]

I get Shake Shack regularly so I was guaranteed to get half the old annual fee back and could usually force myself to use the uber eats so I could break almost even. Now only the $100 Resy is my sure redemption and that’s less than a 3rd of the new fee. I chatted with them and was able to get a retention offer that basically covers me when I renew at the old fee next month. I’ll see how this year goes then decide come next renewal. One of my main (vain) motivations for the card was the rose gold color, now I’m tempted by the white gold.

Man i was about to apply for it but now with the new update, I wouldn't get much value from it apart from the groceries and dining benefit. Shame
