Video Description

Thank you to Away for sponsoring this video!

The American Express Gold Card has been in my wallet consistently over the past 5 years, but it still has several flaws that are worth noting. I also think that there are a few problems facing the Amex Gold as we head into 2026, so I’ll be going over those problems in this video as well. For many people, the annual credits and other benefits on the Amex Gold Card can outweigh the annual fee. There’s also some great spending multipliers on this card, like 4x points on dining and 4x points on groceries. However, an American Express credit card might not always be the best choice for you, so I’ll mention a couple of other good options that you could get instead. 💳 Learn More About My Top Credit Cards: https://danielbraun.me/links OTHER LINKS: ✉️ Sign Up For My Free Newsletter: https://danielbraun.me/WiserWallet 🏦 SoFi Checking & Savings ($300 Bonus): https://danielbraun.me/SoFi 📱 Follow Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_danbraun/ CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Intro 0:50 - Welcome Bonus 5:31 - Spending Multipliers 6:57 - Annual Credits 12:10 - Amex Offers 12:57 - Problem 1 14:14 - Problem 2 CHECK OUT SOME OF MY OTHER VIDEOS: ▶️ How To Redeem Amex Points Like A Pro (4 Examples): https://youtu.be/1GmUFU5i4uA ▶️ The Credit Card Game Has Changed Forever: https://youtu.be/Fbf7zK6AFkQ ▶️ Our Credit Card Strategy For Couples (2 Player System): https://youtu.be/Wuftu11aFO8 DISCLAIMER: Some of the card links and other products that appear on this website are from companies which Daniel Braun will earn an affiliate commission or referral bonus.
