Our Take

The American Express® Gold Card shoots up the rankings this month thanks to an elevated welcome bonus! This is the highest welcome bonus we have seen on this card (publicly, anyway) for quite some time. Terms apply. Rates and fees.

These are the same American Express Membership Rewards points that are earned by the aforementioned Platinum and Business Gold cards.

Amex Gold is also one of the best cards on the market for spending categories.

Be sure to check CardMatch for a potentially higher offer before applying for this card.
