One of the best credit cards for dining / restaurants is the American Express Gold Card, and it just got a MAJOR update today (July 25, 2024).

Here’s a brief outline of what you need to know…

The Amex Gold Card’s annual fee was increased from $250 to $325 (see rates and fees) for new cardholders. For existing Amex Gold cardholders, the new fee takes effect with renewal dates on or after October 01, 2024.

See Rates & Fees: www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/card-appli…

With the annual fee hike some 2 all-new credits:

1. Earn up to $84 in Dunkin’ credit each year (up to $7 back per month, enrollment required).

2. Earn up to $100 in Resy credit each year (up to $50 twice per year, Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec) for dining at U.S. Resy restaurants and other eligible Resy purchases (Enrollment required).

The other credits / benefits are either slightly changed or remain unchanged:

3. $120 Uber Cash: No change to this benefit

4. $120 Dining Credit (up to $10 per month, enrollment required) at select partner locations. Milk Bar and Shake Shack are being removed on Sep. 26, 2024 and Five Guys is being added (it’s already live).

Other changes…
- The 4X Membership Rewards points on Dining is now capped at $50,000 per year
- New Amex White Gold design option

    I grabbed a replacement white gold card for my Business Gold card this morning. Last night at 11pm I threw in an app for the Amex Gold with $250 AF and kept it classic gold since I missed the 12am refresh saved $75 too!
  • @dbest4755
    Mark, this is Crazy, AMEX just did minor changes so they can charge a higher Annual Fee !!
  • @ryanccc777
    Just so happened that my wife booked a restaurant for our upcoming anniversary at a Resi restaurant and there goes one of the $50 credits, so that offsets $50 of the $75 increase without even trying. I totally get the distaste for the changes but as they say mileage may vary.
  • @kmb6916
    Might be time to cancel for me. I could barely justify this card at the 250 AF.
  • @robertm8380
    Let me guess next refresh Green Card then Blue Cash Preferred. They might as well make the green card a Neon Glow in dark card easy to see when your traveling and drop it in dark in restaurant or bar late night. Blue Cash Preferred they can add a new LED light to light up when you tap the card.
  • @MKPhedYang
    Your amazing detail is always awesome and greatly appreciated! Very clear. It has helped me so much when I started getting into these credit card games!!! 💯🙏🤩
  • Is this just the refresh for personal cards or does it goes for amex gold business as well?
  • @carlosleshawn
    Gives me more value than the last version. I’ll be keeping and switching to white gold
  • Excellent new perks imo, and worth the higher annual fee. Can't wait for the White Gold Unboxing video!
  • @yurig2530
    More couponization! Next step - 100 $1 monthly credits, blue gold design, $500 AF, nobody applies, amex confused, files for bankruptcy.
  • @yurig2530
    I never been to Dunkin. There is one near my house. What do they sell? I also have Five Guys nearby, but they seem to be overpriced. I have a few Resy restaurants nearby, I have never been to any of those. Are they worth the price? I value Uber credit at $0.
  • As a current card member, my card is scheduled to arrive on August 2nd.
