New American Express Premier Rewards Gold Card Benefits

The American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card is one of the first cards I ever signed up for, and I've kept it ever since.

Back in the day the card was really unique, as it offered 3x points on airfare purchased with airlines, 2x points on gas purchased at US gas stations & groceries purchased at US supermarkets. In addition to that the card used to offer 15,000 Membership Rewards points for any year in which you spent $30,000 on the card.

In other words, $30,000 of airfare spend per year would net you 105,000 Membership Rewards points, which is a crazy good return.

Unfortunately since then a couple of things have changed which have decreased the value proposition of the card:

Earn 15,000 Starpoints This Weekend With The SPG/Uber Partnership

Yesterday I wrote about the new partnership between SPG and Uber, which is a huge value-add for SPG members.

Here's a video introducing the new partnership:

Active SPG members earn one extra Starpoint per dollar spent with Uber (up to $10,000 per year), and if you use an Uber in conjunction with a stay at a Starwood property, you earn even more Starpoints than that.

As someone that lives in hotels, it looks like I'll be earning four Starpoints and two Ultimate Rewards points per dollar spent on most of my Uber rides from now on.
