The escape is carefully planned.
The American Express Gold Card offers a range of benefits, including dining statement credits, Resy and Dunkin’ statement credits, and Uber benefits. Cardmembers can enroll in these benefits through the American Express mobile app or website. The dining credit is different from the Uber benefit and can be used at select merchants. Authorized users can trigger these perks, but separate statement credits are not received. The dining credit cannot be used to purchase gift cards or merchandise.
The Amex Gold’s benefits are a great way to offset its $325 annual fee, but cardmembers should ensure they can consistently use these statement credits before including them in the projected value of the card.
The Amex Gold’s dining benefits are a carefully planned escape from the costs of dining out.
