A Full Guide to Your Amex Gold Card

My free guide to everything the Amex Gold Card offers, plus every tip I use, from the Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins hack to earning Amex points with Rakuten. Subscribe to download the guide.

The Amex Gold Card can easily pay you back more than its $325 annual fee, but only if you know how to use it. I put everything into one guide: how you earn points, all four credits and how to never waste them, the travel perks most people forget, and my favorite tips for getting more out of every dollar.
