American Express Gold Card Welcome Bonus
New American Express® Gold Card cardholders can earn 60,000 Membership Rewards® points after spending $6,000 on eligible purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Plus, receive 20% back in statement credits on eligible purchases made at restaurants worldwide within the first 6 months of Card Membership, up to $100 back. Limited time offer. Offer ends 11/6/24.
Plus, get the American Express® Gold Card in either the Gold, Rose Gold, or Limited-Edition White Gold metal design. White Gold design is only available while supplies last.
You can earn this bonus once. So if you have earned it before, even as a Premier Rewards Card owner (what the Gold Card used to be known as before it got revamped), you most likely won’t qualify to earn this welcome offer a second time.
You can also transfer your Membership Rewards points (often on a 1:1 basis) to airline and hotel partners including Delta, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Emirates. Point transfers usually make each point worth at least 1 cent each (which is their standard redemption value).
