Apparently an upcoming refresh to the Gold card was mentioned on Amex’s earnings call today, and now the details have been leaked:

Changes appear to be:
- New AF of $325
- 4x on dining limited to $50k/year
- Monthly $7 Dunkin Donuts credit (so random)
- Semi-annual $50 Resy credit
Change is always bad with Amex, etc. They need to satisfy the analysts and activist a- so every year we will see takeaways.
Personally I can live with $50k dining but the resy credit is even worse than the grubhub credit which itself is fairly useless. The value prop is rapidly disappearing.
We just downgraded from Plat-> Gold but will seriously have to reconsider next year depending on how we value bonus points. I get 3x dining on many cards and 3x grocery with Citi so it's really just an extra 1/point per $1.
