Guys we have been played. I thought I had a limited edition rose gold amex card. Cashiers would marvel at its rare color. Women would go on dates with me just to see me pay the bill with my seductively pinkish golden card. Gay men would want the card for its flamboyant style.
Well guess what? Now all those people can have the card. Because they have brought it back permanently.
Hey credit warriors, so yeah the rose gold card is back for good, it isn’t limited edition anymore, its not something an exclusive group of people have. It is just as common as the regular gold now. Here is a video of Amex celebrating this decision to betray all those cardmembers who thought the Rose gold card made them special.
Anyway we will tell you how you can get it in a minute, but here is what Rachel Stocks, Executive Vice President, Global Premium Products and Benefits at American Express said about the decision.
“Our Rose Gold design quickly became a Card Member favorite when we introduced the limited-edition design a few years ago, so we knew we needed to bring it back as an option to choose from permanently,”
Here is something Business Wire said about the decision:
A recent Amex Trendex survey found that 3 in 5 (59%) consumers would be interested in choosing their Card design when picking a Credit Card and furthermore, 39% of consumers said that the look and feel of a Card is important to them when choosing a Credit Card.
So now when you apply for gold you will get a question asking you if you want the gold design or the rose gold design. But what if you are an existing member? Can you just switch to rose gold and then be able to get into the Rose gold lounge like all us limited edition folks? Well it seems the answer is yes.
People have been posting in our credit dojo facebook group about their success in switching, some did it by online chat with an Amex Rep. And others did it over the phone. And by the way if you want to join that group feel free to search it on facebook and answer the questions and we will let you in.
So yeah that is it. If you are an existing member and want to change, you can use either of those two methods. If you are interested in getting the card for the first time you will be able to choose rose gold and there is currently a 60,000 point welcome bonus and they just brought in a $10 per month Uber credit, which I just used for Tacos delivered by Uber Eats last night. And there is also another $10 dining credit for seamless and grubhub, so you basically get $240 of your $250 annual fee back through food credits so it is a pretty sweet deal.
But for me it is still disappointing. They better not touch the limited edition felt green card that gets you into the green card snooker lounge.
What? There are no special lounges? Anyway guys, thanks for watching, please subscribe if you are new and we will see you next time. Bye bye.

The real epic play would be getting a Rose-Gold Charles Schwab Amex Platinum.
Amex thinks it’s an iPhone or something.
I call yesterday and ask for it and that’s it. 🙂
How do you know the ladies don't want the card for it's flamboyant style and the gay men want to go out with you? 😉
$240 a year* 2:40
Damn this guy got good information about the rose gold card
I have 6 credit cards. I paid off one card & 2 installment accounts and will have paid off my 6 cards by 7-1 with 2,000 available credit. My score now is 530. Will paying off all my cards raise my score ?
Bennie I'm glad that they brought it back forever
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
just got mine ordered. could you please look into what special pricing amex platinum card holders get w equinox gyms?
I want one! I need to do a little more work since I live in Canada
I might as well just cancel mine now. No point in having it….
Hello…I just recently discovered your channel and enjoy it. I understand you sell wallets as your primary job. I'd love to look at what kind of wallets you sell. Can you point me in the right direction please?
I was approved for the Gold in April 2020, phone agent told me I have to wait until after my 1year anniversary date to get The Rose😥
this opening haha
Funny that people thought Amex wouldn't bring the Rose Gold back despite how wildly popular it was.
if you want to feel "special" you could always get the Centurian Black Card with that $10,000 initiation fee and $5000 annual fee. Trust me, there are a handful of special people using those card (lol)
I applied last night… upset I was declined, but asked them to review my application. Seems like the card has great benefits. Amex hasn't been giving me much love lately.
Is this available in Canada?
You said its $120 uber credit AND a $120 grubhub so effectively 10 dollar annual fee but all i see is uber when i look it up. Did it change?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the intro was funny
I phoned in and was told that I had to wait 1 year after opening my gold card in order to product change. Anyone experience that as well?
Is it just me or is this rose gold card lighter and thinner than the original gold card
I’m still waiting for the limited edition WHITE Gold.
Wow $240 a month in food credits! That offsets the annual fee by quite a bit, matter of fact, AMEX is paying us to keep the card.
I was told I would have to wait until I’ve had my card for a full year before switching it to Rose Gold.
but, the chat in the Amex app setup up with it today.
Lol. I literally just requested a rose gold card (from my OG gold card) no fuss from the rep
