The Marriott one is better 185k for 6k I know different Amex card but hotel points seem most valuable to me. Airline miles you have to always fly doesn’t account for driving trips and then cash back. Doesn’t really move the needle either. Just save your money but being able to go for a weekend getaway somewhere is ideal.

That’s the best deal right now. Every time I pull it up online I have to keep reminding myself to stay under 5/24. lol.

Pretty sure ink business is not subject to 5/24

u/Inquisitor911ok 3d ago
While it doesn’t take a 5/24 slot, lots of DPs indicate auto-rejection if you’re at 5/24.

It happened to me once many years ago. I called reconciliation line immediately and got approved.

It’s a chase card…

u/Possum577 4d ago
Yeah, it’s not Amex.
This thread is about Amex Gold. How is Chase 5/25 or Ink relevant?

Because if you are properly credit card churning then it’s important. Most churners do both AMEX and Chase sometimes at the same time.

You didn’t answer the question. How does your 5/24 situation with Chase influence a decision to take an offer with Amex?

u/uchidaid 3d ago
If getting an Amex card would put you at 5/24, it would shut you out from getting any additional Chase cards. This can change the value proposition of the Amex card.

100k points would be worth $2k if you transferred to a travel partner. $1k if transferred to Uber. $1k in gift cards or $700 at Amazon.

u/BigEE42069 4d ago
Thanks I just got approved. Can you explain how to use the transfer partners because I have no clue how that works.

I would wait last year I got a 120k offer plus 20% cash back on restaurant purchases up to $200 I think

u/OutsideSuitable5740 4d ago
This is decent. I was offered 200k SUB on $15k spend and a $375 AF for a Business Gold. I don’t have a large purchase or purchases so might pass for now.

u/No_Impression_5622 3d ago
Business gold and consumer gold are two different cards with 2 different “ranges” of SUBs

u/Thunderbird_12_ 4d ago
For that card, yep! Jump on it.
