In 2019 American Express introduced a limited time version of the American Express Gold card in Rose Gold. American Express has now brought back the Rose Gold colorway. Unfortunately if you apply now you no longer get the $100 airline credit you would have received if you applied yesterday. Existing customers should be able to request a Rose Gold card by chatting with an American Express rep.
damn! got the window saying i will not get the SUB. should i spend more using my existing amex cards to overcome this? i have a amex everyday preferred card, which has AF. Cannot believe amex thinks I am not bringing profit to them lol.
I would like to upgrade from the Green card, but I’m scared of RAT action since I got 7500 MR pts retention offer in NOV-20 to keep the card and pay the $150 AF. Any idea if I will be subject to clawback or some form or RAT action?
You cannot cancel or downgrade, but no language talks about you cannot upgrade.
The rose gold color irl is so feint that it looks like the plat in dark lighting.
The only ‘rose gold’ of this card is in the pictures. Intentional deception; nothing surprising coming from amx.
More akin to baby shit. This nicu nurse (and former ‘rose gold’ holder) knows of what they speak. 🙂
This card has made a come back, at least 3 times now. That being said, I do have one in my wallet. The color is actually a bit disappointing compared to what you would expect. Instead of a vibrant rose gold, it looks more like copper in real life, unless you shine it directly under a bright light, Oh well
Agree – I wish they’d come up with a new shade option already
Am a existing regular Gold holder and called Amex just now. Apparently this is a product change, so if you haven’t used the $100 airline credit yet, you will lose the benefit. Best course of action is to get the credit, then switch to gold. As for how long the Rose Gold promo is active for, the rep didn’t know.
Switched via chat with rep and was assured that airline credit will remain.
Damn this looks like a trap set up by amex now. Releasing the rose gold today so that existing users do the product change and lose the airline credit
is it possible to reverse the switch?
Just spoke to an agent via chat and they verified that no benefits will change when asking to switch from the Gold to Rose Gold.
It’s a trap! They’re just looking for one more way for the RAT team find us (not that it’s that hard).
…[goes to change color anyways]
what does the color of the card have anything to do with abusing rewards?
Applying first day is probably highly correlated to reading the blogs that (in some cases) might lead to abuse.
…and my comment was mostly in jest.
After a quick chat online, I was able to order a Rose Gold to replace my standard Gold metal card. It will arrive in 7-10 business days. My card number will remain the same.
Waste of time and the environment.
That’s tuff
I was looking at some referral links for the Gold card. Looks like referrals have 6 month language to do the minimum spend. Same sub, 60k MR. Might help some of us meet the $4k spend if budgets are tight right now.
I wish they’d bring back annual credits instead of monthly credits.
