Which is More Exciting? An Amex Gold Poll

[cv91915]

My new Amex Gold card was APPROVED WITH A SOFT PULL.

 

My new Amex Gold card is MADE OUT OF METAL.

 

Discuss your arousal amongst yourselves.  I'll be right over here.

Did you get an enhanced SUB, or is there some notable benefit on the Gold that you aren't already privy to??  (Did you opt for the "rose gold"?)

50k for me, 50k for Konrad2012 (referral bonus).

 

I got rose gold as a joke.  But with 4x at restaurants and grocery stores I'll probably carry it around.  

 

In my orange wallet.

I ordered a metal one, just so I can turn around and order a plastic one.

I only came for the poll. I'm highly disappointed with your click bait.

For me it's the soft pull. I like getting approved for things because of my business relationship with a company, but shiny and METAL does rule. If this was a revolver we could epeen about our APR...How about we check our spending power.

I weighed my wallet twice, first with one plastic card in each of the three slots, and then with three metal cards instead.

 

The results are below  (both include my drivers license in the fourth slot).

 

I am going to get a wallet with more slots so I can carry all of my metal cards around at once, even if it makes me lean to the left when I walk.

 

 

I'm also going to see if the shoeshine guy at Mudland International can do something about the grime on this wallet.

I also need to report that since I loaded this wallet up with three metal cards the slots hang like sleeve of wizard.

Sure.  My SC+ is $250K and my Biz Plat is $350K, more if I call in prior (so they say). 

 

Never bothered with the PRG, and OPEN reps have never brought it up when they call me since it's not an OPEN product.

OMG SOME D1LD0 ACTUALLY WEIGHED HIS CARDS LOL

[cv91915]

I reported in another thread (which I can't find) that I believe that Amex is manually posting the 20% dining credits for new card holders, and I showed an example.

 

Here is Exhibit B.

 

The $5 is from a "spend $20/get $5" offer on the card, so that one is legit.  The other one?  Good lord.

You definitely forget about the softie, but the metal card is the gift that keeps on giving.
