Luxury Gold Card - Approval

SeoulTrain90 — Wed, 20 Jan 2016 00:25:14 GMT

I was approved for the new Luxury Gold Card on 1/14 ($10k CL) and received my card today.

First thoughts - This card is heavy! Much heavier than CSP and Marriott Premier Rewards. After looking through the benefits guide, it definitely has more perks than advertised. Nothing to rave about though. With the 50k point sign-up bonus, this will offset the AF for the first year. After that, I'll decide whether I want to keep it for another year. With the $200 airline credit and $100 Global Entry fee waiver, I'll definitely come out ahead this year.

Here is the package:

Congrats! I applied for the Black Card but Barclay denied me due to too many new accounts in the past six months.

I know it's only gold plated, but 24 karat gold itself is pretty soft. Does the card feel soft? I know it's a heavy card but by soft, I mean does it feel like it would scratch pretty easy?

For comparison, I would feel terrified of putting a tiny bar of 24 karat gold in my pocket or wallet in fear of ruining it.

I have always thought that elite cards like AMEX Plat/Black card should have no limit.

Whatttttt? What is a ghetto CL? Congrat OP and more grease to your elbows as that annual fee is something else...

Lol, looks cool, I'd never app for something with that annual fee. I suppose if you hit your 3k spend you'll be OK if you use your points for a 1000 plane ticket. Do you travel often? Will you take advantage of the perks?

The Gold Card has the same statement credit value as plane ticket, so I can use it to offset $1000 of spending whatever. I travel pretty often for work, but mainly by car+hotel rather than air. The hotel perks are far greater than the airline perks on this card

Grats! Definitely a good looking card.

I know a dentist that will put two small diamonds in my front teeth for that AF, just saying.

Had a Black Card and felt special because I was invited, for half the price. That account is now closed. My alter-ego got the best of me!
