The Amex Gold Card and Chase Sapphire Preferred are 2 excellent travel credit cards, but they can fit into your life very differently (or not at all).
Both credit cards earn excellent rewards for travel (Amex Membership Rewards points and Chase Ultimate Rewards points), they have a strong return on Dining (4X vs. 3X) and offer an array of insurance protections for travel and retail.
But the question many of us face is, “Which card is better? The Amex Gold Card? The Chase Sapphire Preferred?” And for some people, the answer may be, “BOTH!” (Although getting both currently means paying $325 + $95 = $420 in annual fees, so we first need to make sure there’s more value than that per year to justify them).
This video will compare both credit cards so you can better determine if one, both, or neither are worth a place in your wallet.
