Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Both cards offer generous points-earning bonuses, but the Amex Gold’s benefits are easier to use. The Amex Business Gold has a higher welcome bonus, but requires a higher spending requirement. The Amex Gold is better suited for cardmembers who don’t have major business expenses, while the Amex Business Gold is targeted at larger businesses with high operating costs.
Authenticity requires a $325 annual fee.
