The Amex Gold Card gives you double miles on travel (I'm from Canada, I assume its the same in the states).. so if you are paying for travel, this feature will add up quick. Plus the gold card, you can redeem into your Priority Club I believe.. but check the ratios because if the conversion rate isn't 1 point AMEX: 10 point Priority Club, it won't be worth it.. or if you have ff#, you can transfer AMEX point 1 to 1..
The point is that the Amex Gold points are transferable to any frequent flyer program, so givest that astounding flexibility. Transfer is in increments of 100 points at a time.
btw.. Welcome to FT!
