Amex Gold Approval

hAr1x · ‎10-26-2020

Confirmed today that Amex Gold will add Uber benefits next year (in addition to one more year of airline credit). Really worth it for the first year. Got a Plat friend to refer me. He gets 15k MR instantly, and I get 60k MR after spending $4k in 6 months. A pretty good deal for now.

It's my second Amex and third ever card. Pulled the trigger early to 1) make sure that my friend could get the 15k + 3 more MR points on purchases for next 3 months (that's 9x points for air travel and hotels, 2) I won't receive my SSN in time for Chase's 80k UR CSP offer, 3) worried that the 60k Gold offer might expire soon.

Congrats on Getty the Gold card!

I believe your friend will get 8 MR on airfare, and 4 MR on regular spend during the three months. Well played!
