One of the main benefits of the American Express Gold card is a $100 airline incidental credit each year. Starting in January 2022 this benefit will no longer be offered. American Express provided the following statement to TPG:
As we are always looking to evolve our Card benefits and services to best support our Card Members’ needs, the Airline Fee Credit on the American Express Gold Card will no longer be available at the end of 2021. Current Gold Card Members will be able to continue to use the Airline Fee Credit through December 31, 2021. We will continue to evolve and enhance our Card benefits and services to provide relevant and rich value to our Card Members in the areas they care about most, so stay tuned!
It sounds like American Express will replace that benefit with something else, fingers crossed there is an overlap between whatever the replace this with for 2021. American Express is currently offering an increased bonus on this card.
