I upgraded from my trusty green card yesterday to the PRG card and today i decided to try and get the 25k bonus points or the fee dropped for the year ( failed missrably at both) and i learned that new card members will be able to choose what catagory they want the new 3x point earning to be in. I dont know if the CSR i was chatting with just didnt know what was going on, or if they just dont have that info anywhere on the website but i thought that was pretty big. I am locked into flights apprently, as the CSR said "upgrades only get that option, new card members can choose what catagroy they want the 3x points in" Amex sure makes it had to stay happy when they seem to like new card members rather than ones who spend alot and upgrade...
Only the business version of the Gold Card allows you to choose a category, the personal one does not. The only category that you will get 3X on the personal one is airline purchases.
