Guess it depends on your spend as it’s now 10k bonus every 20k quarterly spend. For myself I have two businesses that spend 300k a year each and over 80 k with two suppliers on the current list. Overall this is massive downgrade costing me easily 80k pts per year.
AMEX has confirmed on the phone that the program will officially end March 31st 2022. Basically, you can’t make any changes on your suppliers after October 6th … Not a clue to what the Gold will offer after March 31st …
was going to sign up early 2022 to pay taxes by April, guess I have to do it now lol
This really sucks …. I have 5 Gold cards … One for each of my businesses …. I guess we will have to live with 1,25x points …
Huh, that makes the card quite uncompetitive as is, they are hopefully planning an overhaul.
I can report that Amex Canada *substantially* restricted the allowed business categories a few months ago. Used to be most contractors were eligible. I forget exactly what changed but believe one or two of the business services “other” categories were allowed and now aren’t. So you’d need an eligible payment in one of the listed categories

Oh, I forgot: they also had limits on how Plastiq could be used across a cardholder’s account in a given month. That may have been a somewhat recent change but I am not sure.
So clearly Plastiq has been on their radar for a bit. I’ll bet this one may have been actual business rather than churners using it in a way that was uneconomical for Amex. Probably potential for inordinary use among some of the other suppliers too but I am less familiar with business spending patterns there.
I have a variation of this card making it a possible keeper. 10k break even plastiq spend. But not so much now. Alas the Amazon credit it will be my last – time for snip-snip. 🤭
Cobalt is the new gold. It has lost its lustre. On a side note, Biz edge should become the new biz gold, otherwise Amex has too many cards with no identity. Customer confusion. 5X office supplies !
