Save Over 60% on Uber Rides (Amex Offer)

Amex offers are one of my favorite features of American Express cards. These offers can be added to your card in your Amex online account and typically refund a certain amount of money at a certain store if you spend over a certain amount. For example spend $50 at X store, get $10 back. This obviously benefits Amex and these stores, because it serves as advertising for them, shop there once with an Amex offer and you may like it so much you continue to shop there! But still, wise consumers can save a lot of money by maximizing Amex offers.

American Express has expanded its referral program to include referral options for cards that you don’t actually have.

Barclays Arrival Premier Closed to New Applicants

The Barclays Arrival Premier card was introduced in April this year and it was Barclays’ first credit card that had a system of transferable points – the the most desirable type of rewards system in the credit card world. With a transferable points system, points can be transferred to airline partners and normally can be redeemed for far greater value than points that have a set value (1c per point in the case of the Barclays Arrival+, which is still available). Transfer partners included Etihad, Eva Air and Qantas, plus several more.

The New Amex Gold Card is Here! + Rose Gold Limited Edition

Over the past couple of weeks multiple leaks have hinted at something quite incredible happening to the American Express Gold Card. First we had cardholders see 4x point earning rates on US restaurants and supermarkets show up in their accounts, and then after a couple of hours these rates disappeared (to be honest I think they did this on purpose to get people talking). Then we had leaked card images of the new metal cards, with a new rose gold variety, and many leakes about the revamped benefits of the card, supposedly being launched October 4th.

This card is Petal Card. Previously invitation only, Petal Card is now open to the public and you can apply for it with literally no credit score and credit history whatsoever.

American Express is not very good at keeping things hush hush, it seems. A few days ago they accidentally added new benefits to the Premier Rewards Gold card that in theory shouldn’t go live until 10/04/2018, and now images of the two new designs of the Gold Card, one gold and one rose gold, appear to have been leaked.
