First
i'm very early apparently
I love my Amex Green Card.
Excellent info I have the business green card for historical reasons
The CLEAR credit covering the whole cost now makes the Green card make a lot more sense for a lot of people!
I LOVE this as a Green Card holder! I will continue to renew this card each year faithfully and reap the benefits of Amex.
Was thinking of closing my green card. Maybe I won't now. I never found the credits helpful, especially having to pay 89 more for CLEAR. Now I might sign up for clear.
Loving the quick (<5 minutes) videos lately!
I should’ve gone for Amex rather than Chase
Minus the clear membership and lounge buddy, i don’t see any benefit over the discontinued Amex propel or autograph visa
That's cool. However, the CLEAR credit is already covered by my Platinum card. Although I travel extensively per year, the points I would earn would still not break even for the annual fee otherwise.
Damn, I was hoping they added the ability to use the credit towards TSA Precheck. My home airport doesn’t have CLEAR.
Platinum card has it as well
Could you do a video on a credit card I recently heard of called the “klutch card”
(it’s supposed to be a programmable credit card sounded unique)
Very good deal
From a pure travel MR earnings standpoint this is a great card. Even trouncing bigger brother Gold Card. Amex needs to update Gold Card to include points for “travel.” In addition to the existing 3X on airfare booked directly with airlines.
SHHHHHHH. Don't tell anyone
Got the Amex green car 2 years ago and do not regret it. Its one of the most underrated cards out there.
Once again, nice video!
Your explanation was very “clear”
Mediocre card.
Why is it that one of the best benefits that gets overlooked by everyone that reviews this card is the fact that you can earn 3x points on travel when you book a room and you don't have to do it thru the amex portal. You can get the 3x from third party sites, compared to the Platinum you will only get the 5x when booking from their portal, third party booking gives only 1x.
Is it possible to upgrade from gold to platinum at the same time as applying for a new platnuim to get two platinum bonuses?
Any chance you think we’ll see improvements to the biz green card?
They should make it metal and a lot more people would get it just for that reason alone
This great news for the green card thanks Amex.
Thanks for the update ben 👍
The next level 🔥
The upgraded Clear credit makes this card a much more viable beginner travel card in my opinion. This hasn't been a card I've really considered before, but since I don't have a card with overlapping credits, this one may actually make sense. I'll probably just hold off until I want to apply for the Amex Platinum though and get that one instead. Thanks for the updates Ben!
