The benefits of using an American Express (Amex) Gold credit card include loyalty rewards and discounts. Some exclusive discounts for hotels and travel are provided only to gold card holders.
American Express put the gold card on the market in 1966 and put the platinum card on the market in 1989.
Whether a particular card is the best to have or not depends on your needs. For many borrowers the AMEX Gold might very well be the most suitable mix of fees, limit, and perks. Others may need less perks in exchange for lower fees, while some might need even more benefits from their card- the AMEX Platinum and Chase Palladium are some cards that come to mind. The best card for you is the one that satisfies your needs for that specific type of card.
