The American Express® Gold Card has never fit well into the premium card category, nor does it truly belong in the entry-level tier. For each category, I'll look at what you'd expect from a premium card, and an entry-level card, and how the Amex Gold is different. While it would be nice to see a larger bonus on the Amex Gold card, at least Amex is doing (a little) something to differentiate this card. Amex Gold: The real reason most people will want to get and keep the Amex Gold comes down to the card's excellent bonus categories. However, the perks that the Amex Gold card does offer are short, sweet and easy to understand — and significantly enhance the overall value that the card offers.
