Amex Business Gold Might Get a Shiny New Upgrade (and a Higher Fee!)
Published on January 22, 2026, 9:22 PM
American Express is floating some potential changes to its Business Gold card, and it looks like they're considering a refresh! They've sent out surveys hinting at possibilities like a higher annual fee of $495 (currently $375). But it's not all bad news!
The survey also mentioned perks like a $300 credit for ChatGPT business services – helpful if you're using AI in your business. Even flashier, they hinted at a 24K gold-plated card for those who spend over $100,000 in a year. Plus, there's talk of earning up to 50,000 Membership Rewards points for paying your card with your Amex business checking account.
Why should you care? If you're a Business Gold cardholder (or thinking about getting one), these changes could seriously impact the value you get from the card. A higher annual fee means you'll need to make sure the new perks (if they happen) are worth the extra cost. It's a good time to think about how you use your card and whether these changes would benefit your business!
