Amex Gold (AXP) Updates Benefits for 60th Anniversary Celebrations

American Express® Gold Card (AXP) has introduced new benefits in celebration of its 60th anniversary. Cardholders will now earn 5X Amex Membership Rewards® points on prepaid hotels booked through AmexTravel.com, an increase from 2X points. Additionally, cardholders can receive complimentary Hertz Five Star® Status, providing enhanced rental car benefits. Dining credits have also been updated to include new restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings, yet still remain capped at $10 monthly. While these changes enhance the card's value, they are not expected to significantly impact the market’s perception of the offering.
