Can you compare this card to the Wells Fargo AmEx Propel?

Just got approved for the AmEx Green @45K + $100 Away Credit.  Sorry Sebby for not using your referral offer this time as I did with my AmEx Gold.  I may have to give up the Amex Gold, as I have the Platinum, Biz Gold and now the Green.  Biz Gold has 4x Grocery, 4x Restaurant and 4x Gas, which is my biggest monthly spend.

GREAT VIDEO SEBBY! This is a great breakdown of the new AMEX card. I’m more focused on building the Chase CC strategy at this time and feel like there’s more value for our family with Chase and Cap1 at this time, but maybe in the future. No matter what card you have, you must ALWAYS have a budget, follow a budget, and make sure the Budget ALWAYS WINS. Great Video! 😎👍🏻

After sleeping on it, I think this could be part of an "Amex Trifecta" for somebody who flies 2-4 times a year. Gold Card, Green Card, then Blue Business Plus would really fill all categories. Many Priority Plus lounges are getting packed and are not worth it anymore, but with the green card you can get into lounges that aren't part of Priority Plus which could mean less people will access these lounges. Also the PreCheck line has gotten long, so Clear really does help with getting through security quickly.

Gold Card covers 4X restaurants, 4X groceries, 3X airlines
Green Card covers 3X hotel, 3X ride share, 3X other transportation etc
Blue Business Plus covers 2X everything else..

The annual fees for this trifecta is $400/annually, but if you find a way to use all of the perks and credits that Amex offers, you actually end up with a positive return of $20 ($100 LoungeBuddy, $100 Clear, 120 Dining, 100 Incidental).

Do you guys think this is a good idea for somebody who flies 2-4 times a year?

Hmm… I just got word yesterday that my annual fee is going up by $50 on this card. Makes sense now.

This is actually a pretty great development for us. My main problem with AmEx Plat is the lack of multipliers and the suckiness of amextravel meant I could only use it for major purchases for the protections. Yet I do want to accumulate some MR points to use with Delta, etc.; been thinking the Gold card but that would be yet another card I would need to figure out how to use the janky airline credit with. But with this: since I travel 1-2 times a month now I have CLEAR so that reduces the effective AF to $50; now I can also use it for some of the things I use the Sapphire Reserve for, and we can probably get rid of my wife’s Sapphire Reserve additional card, saving us $75. Though that means she loses access to the CSR Priority Pass she already has her own Amex Plat which is more useful for lounges anyway. All in all gives us a way of organically earning MR as well as UR in a balanced way, for less overall AF.

Hey I have an off topic question… I was approved for the chase Sapphire Preferred card but I had the card expedited will I still receive like the welcome letter etc?

tolikfox007 October 26, 2019 - 3:36 pm

The AF is not the downside here, its the credits they offer. Most ppl arent going to care for those credits. Now if they were to offer something like Amazon Prime, can you imagine how many ppl would sign up for this card???? But i can see that Amex is trying to make this a travel card

Reply
tolikfox007 October 26, 2019 - 3:38 pm

Meh, signed up for the old green wtih 30k signup bonus with AF waived. Will just make use of the credits, and hope for a gold upgrade when aniversary hits. Definitely wont be keeping this card.

KB D October 26, 2019 - 8:39 pm

Ok my question is with credit increases my sales has increased in my business so I maxed my card out 2 times in a month and paid the balance in full that month. Could they give me a increase base upon my activity

3 points for for travel and dining, a lot of transfer partners and $150 annual fee. Sounds like a csr with a lower annual fee.

Video idea, do a lounge buddy one saying which airports have hotel options and what exactly terms and conditions are…For example, the Dubai location you mention does offer a hotel, however it's a MAX of six hours…While this may work for some, mainly a long layover, to the majority six hours in a hotel room is much of a perk when you could just snooze at a regular lounge for $100ish less…

As far as I am concerned this sickly green is sickly. Its about time that amex got their act together and came up with another designer for instance why not a dark mat green color with a golden colored rim to repalce the white rim. Furthermore to change the centurion logo also to a rich golden colour. As far as having a piece of plastic and having to pay an annual amount is ridiculous, yet there is one born every minute. My bankers issue me with their credit cards without any annual expenses. As far as the amex and similar cards with such annual expenses to me is a ponzzy scheme no less. But as I said there is one born every minute

The green card also offers purchase protection of 90 days that the gold card does not. That's worth considering too.
