Amex Gold Card Revamp
Talk of a revamp for the Amex Gold card has been ongoing for months now. We have already seen hints of a higher annual fee of $325 and a new design option of White Gold.
Then this week, Steve Squeri, Amex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said that “we look forward to announcing our refreshed U.S. Consumer Gold Card in the coming weeks”.
But the details have been leaked through internal qwww test pages, and they reveal the new benefits that should be coming to the Amex Gold Card.
