I reviewed a lot of American Express credit cards. American Express is one of my favorite credit card issuers in this country and I use American Express credit cards a lot for my daily shopping. When it comes to purchase a large electronic product, American Express credit card is always picked. Their extended warranty program is really great! You can get additional warranty without additional cost. Of course, you have to pass the famous “Financial Review” if there is something happens to your account.

Today when I visited a website, there is a pop-up window came up to my eye. The pop-up window indicated that I could get a $100 gift card for applying for the American Express Rewards Gold Plus Card. I never mentioned the American Express Rewards Plus Gold Card at MyCardBlog.com. Since there is a $100 gift card sign up bonus, I have to briefly introduce this credit card.

Rewards Overview:

• Earn 1 Membership Rewards point for virtually every dollar you spend
• Earn additional points with select travel partners (get 2 points for traveling)
• Up to 5 Fee-Free Additional Cards
• Gold Card Events

The membership points you earned are very rewarding. You can redeem all your membership rewards points easily with many options. You can redeem points for rewards from 20 airlines, hundreds of hotels worldwide, vacation packages, over 50 cruise itineraries, and spa retreats. You can also transfer points into 16 frequent flyer programs — 1 point for 1 airline mile with most programs. Or you can redeem points for rewards from over 50 of the finest names in shopping and entertainment, including Saks Fifth Avenue, COACH, Dell Computer, Callaway Golf, and The Sharper Image. There is no expiration date or limit to the number of points you can earn.

Basically, the rewards is similar to other American Express credit cards-1 point for $1. But if you travel a lot, the additional point will bring huge amount of savings for you.

Plus all American Express gold card members have the access to the gold card hotline which will save you a lot of time and money to schedule your travel. You can also have access to Gold Card Events and other exclusive entertainments.

There is a $150 annual fee which is waived for the first year. (After the first year, you should probably close the account or convert it to another American Express credit card.)

Another similar offer is the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Card which is also offering 10,000 membership rewards points if you spend $500 in 3 months with this card. The 10,000 membership rewards points are redeemable for a $100 gift card.
