Remember: Not all deals work for everyone. Ignore the ones that don’t and follow the ones that do. It all adds up throughout the year.


WHAT: Make one purchase with the new American Express Gold card and get 30,000 points, which is equivalent to $300 in credit.

KNOW: You’ll also get access to Priority Pass lounges worldwide. The fee is $99 per year, so you’re really getting $200 in travel credit. This card is not as good as the other ones I mention in the tutorials but if you’re looking to apply for an added card and feel $200 in travel credit is worth it, this card is worth a look.

NOTE: A few months ago, I was offered this card with $600 in credit + no fee for the first year, which made it a GREAT deal. It seems they send this offer every now and then to people who have had other American Express cards in the past. If you get this in the mail, take it.
