Our Verdict
While there have been instances of better offers on the AmEx Gold card, this a solid offer for someone who can get it to show. It seems to be that select referral links will consistently show this offer while others will show a lower 60k+$50 offer instead. It’s possible that some people will be able to get this 90k+$50 offer without using a referral link, let us know if you do.
