American Express has a range of cards for every customer. Travelers flock to The Platinum Card® from American Express for 5x points on airfare (up to $500,000 per calendar year). The American Express® Gold Card is perfect for foodies with 4x points on restaurants, takeout, and delivery in the US. The American Express® Green Card is a great choice for those that travel, dine out, and want a great everyday card with a lower annual fee.
The American Express® Green Card has a lower annual fee than the other two, but offers a host of benefits that more than make up for its $150 annual fee. See Rates & Fees.
3x Points on Travel & Transit
This card offers 3x Membership Rewards® Points on travel for airfare, hotels, cruises, tours, car rentals, campgrounds, and vacation rentals. It also offers 3x Membership Rewards® Points on transit purchases including trains, taxicabs, rideshare services, ferries, tolls, parking, buses, and subways.
3x Points at Restaurants
This card offers 3x Membership Rewards® Points on eligible purchases at restaurants worldwide, including takeout and delivery in the US.
Benefits for Travelers
In addition to the earnings above, the American Express® Green Card offers the following travel benefits:
- $189 CLEAR Plus Credit: Receive up to $189 per calendar year in statement credits when you pay for your CLEAR Plus membership (subject to auto-renewal) with the American Express® Green Card.
- $100 LoungeBuddy Credit: Purchase lounge access through the LoungeBuddy app using the American Express® Green Card and receive up to $100 in statement credits annually.
- Trip Delay Insurance: If a round-trip is paid for entirely with your eligible card and a covered reason delays your trip more than 12 hours, Trip Delay Insurance can help reimburse certain additional expenses purchased on the same eligible card, up to $300 per trip, maximum 2 claims per eligible account per 12 consecutive month period.
- No Foreign Transaction Fees: When you use your American Express® Green Card internationally, there are no foreign transaction fees.
Amazing Welcome Bonus
For a limited time, the American Express® Green Card is offering 60,000 Membership Rewards® Points after you spend $3,000 in eligible purchases on your new card in your first six months of being a cardmember. Plus, you’ll earn 20% back on eligible travel and transit purchases made during your first six months of card membership (up to $200 back in the form of a statement credit).
Anthony’s Take: I already carry The Platinum Card® from American Express and The American Express® Gold Card, but this welcome offer is too good to pass up and I’ll be applying for the American Express® Green Card as well. Learn More. Rates & Fees.
