The Everyday Points Powerhouse
00:00:00.000 | Next, we're going to talk about the Amex Gold Card.
00:00:01.760 | And that's a personal card.
00:00:03.400 | Earns 4x on groceries and 4x on restaurants.
00:00:06.640 | But the grocery spend has a $25,000 a year cap.
00:00:10.080 | The restaurant side has a $50,000 a year cap.
00:00:13.120 | And then it earns 3x on flights, 1x on everything else.
00:00:16.020 | It does also get 2x on prepaid hotels through Amex Travel.
00:00:19.240 | But again, I don't really like booking hotels in the travel portal.
00:00:22.480 | And especially not for one extra point.
00:00:24.620 | So I'll set that aside.
00:00:25.720 | But it's a 4x grocery, 4x dining card, 3x flights.
00:00:29.760 | I really like this card.
00:00:30.780 | This card is one that I keep in my wallet.
00:00:33.120 | It is my primary dining and grocery card out there.
00:00:36.060 | I have other cards for more points on flights.
00:00:38.560 | But I'm using this a lot.
00:00:40.100 | The sign-up bonus right now as of recording is as high as it has ever been at 100,000 points.
00:00:46.420 | For $6,000 of spend in 6 months.
00:00:49.380 | But for me, this is my primary card that I keep in my wallet.
00:00:52.580 | Because dining spend seems to be one of the few things that sometimes you need a physical card.
00:00:57.340 | So it's a primary bias for why I have it in my wallet.
00:00:59.960 | But I use it all the time.
00:01:01.100 | It's an S-tier card for me.
00:01:02.780 | And, you know, I'm really happy with it.
