Why We Like It

The American Express® Green Card doesn’t get a lot of chatter, but perhaps that should change. Given that this card’s annual fee is only $150, it comes with great bonus categories plus a couple of travel credits that can easily offset the annual fee.

One of the major selling points of the Amex Green is that it earns Membership Rewards points which can be transferred to airline programs such as Air Canada Aeroplan, ANA Mileage Club, and Air France-KLM Flying Blue.

3X on travel including airfare, hotels, cruises, tours, car rentals, campgrounds, and vacation rentals
3X on transit purchases including trains, taxicabs, rideshare services, ferries, tolls, parking, buses, and subways

Travel/Transit Bonus Categories

You can earn 3x on flights, hotels, rental cars, trains, taxis, Uber, Lyft, subway tickets, bus tickets, and more.

$189 CLEAR Credit (Annual)

$100 LoungeBuddy Credits

Every calendar year, you’ll receive $100 in credit toward airport lounge passes via LoungeBuddy.

Amex Offers

Between cashback offers and bonus points offers, Amex Offers can be a nice bonus when making a purchase.
