Update: Amex Green Card 60k Bonus Ends Tomorrow (Wednesday 8/22/23)

I just found out that the higher 60k welcome bonus for the Amex Green card ends tomorrow, Wednesday, 8/22/23. I’m actually surprised this elevated bonus lasted almost 3 months! If you were waiting to apply, don’t wait any longer. And if you do apply, please consider using our link. Thank you!!

AMEX GREEN CARD 60K + $200

The American Express Green Card (affiliate link) currently has an elevated welcome bonus of 60,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $3000 in the first three months.

• 20% back on travel and transit during first 6 months, up to $200 in credit
• 3X points on travel
• 3X points on transit including trains, taxis, ride share apps, tolls, parking, buses and subways
• 3X points on restaurants
• $189 CLEAR Plus travel credit annually
• $100 LoungeBuddy credit annually
• Trip delay insurance
• No foreign transaction fees
• $150 annual fee

WHY GET THIS CARD?

If you’ve never had an Amex card that earns Membership Rewards points, this card is a good starting point. The annual fee of $150 is less than the Amex Gold ($250) and Amex Platinum cards ($695). Plus, the required spending for the bonus is lower than both of those cards.

If you get a CLEAR Plus membership or LoungeBuddy membership or charge any travel and transit during the first 6 months, you’ll likely receive statement credits that wipe out your annual fee.

Membership Rewards are a flexible currency. You can book travel with the points, or transfer to travel partners including:

• British Airways
• Delta
• Air France/KLM
• Iberia
• Virgin Atlantic and more!

Keep in mind that Amex has a “once per lifetime” rule for cards. If you’ve ever owned this card before, you are not eligible for the bonus.
