Promotion details:
Apply for an Amex personal gold card and get up to 75,000 Member Rewards points (see pic below), which will be equivalent to at least CAD 750. In order to get this 75,000 points, the following tasks need to be completed:
- Spend CAD 3,000 within first 3 months of card membership and get 55,000 points
- Get 10 points for every $1 spent on eligible travel, up to 20,000 points.
This is a metal card with two colors available (Gold and Rose Gold, see pic below). The annual fee is CAD 250, but by taking advantage of this welcome bonus you can still pocket some gains. Here is the math:
- As mentioned above, the 75,000 points will be equivalent to CAD 750 at least, if they are redeemed for statement credit, not to mention that the points can be converted to Aeroplan or other programs for maximum value
- The annual fee will be CAD 250.
- This Gold card comes with a CAD 100 travel credit every year, so to reduce the annual fee, you can book a refundable travel through Amex travel and cancel the travel after scooping the $100 travel credits.
- So the gain is 750-250+100=600 at least, not to mention that this Gold card will provide you with the following benefits
- $50 Nexus credit every four years
- 4 times access to Plaza Premium Lounge
- annual fee waived for first additional card
