We heard from a new source a few weeks ago that American Express would be discontinuing the Gold charge card, we didn’t originally post as the card wasn’t offering any sign up bonus and it isn’t worth signing up for. It looks like that information is true and the Gold card has been discontinued, at the moment you just get a loading circle when you go to dedicated page for that card (update before posting, it’s now actually redirecting to the PRG card).
It should be noted that the American Express Premier Rewards Gold Card is still available for sign up (highest current bonus is a total of 65,000 points or 50,000 points for $2,000 in spend). At this stage it isn’t clear what will happen to existing regular gold cardholders.
