Author Topic: New Premier Rewards Gold (PRG) Benefits (Read 15027 times)

4x at Groceries (up to 25K)
4x at Restaurants (no cap)
And $120 dining credit.

In addition (I think) to:
3x at Airlines and amextravel (no cap)
$100 airline fee credit.

If the the new ones are being added (instead of replacing), the card is a real contender now (even with the unfortunate cap on groceries).

Too bad on groceries cap, but makes the card a real contender now.

For the typical who can't spend millions annually in groceries, correct.

Yes, that would be who I am referring to.

Not the guy who spend millions in grocery stores

Looks like they dropped gas

Also, dining credit limited:

"$120 Dining Credit: You get $10 monthly dining credit available at Grubhub, Seamless, The Cheesecake Factory, Ruth's Chris Steak House, Shake & Shack. Must enroll first and pay using Premier Rewards Gold card."

looks like they're slowly updating the benefits on the website.

Very unclear if new apps get this so far.

Really weird.... If they are adding this why wouldn't they go all out and blast it from the rooftops? I see no mention of this on their website...

AJK · « **Reply #8 on:** September 21, 2018, 12:26:43 AM »

Clearly they're going to announce it and this was an early unintentional leak.

People on Reddit said they were getting emails from Amex.

AJK · « **Reply #10 on:** September 21, 2018, 02:35:10 PM »

... which would also be an early and unintentional leak?

(assuming their claims are true...)

Though not the strongest grocery card, it is pretty strong.

If you value MRs, this is the best (US domestic) dining card.

The food credit is on the weak side if you don't hit grub hub on a regular basis already.

I think for most people (that value MRs) this is a really good improvement. It puts the PRG back on top of a lot of peoples wallets for a lot of transactions that generate valuable consumer data.

I give it a month until they start hitting everyone with 505.95 (or multiples) charges at groceries...

The 4.5-6x cards. EDP for MR, Blue Cash family for %s plus other banks IINM

4x MR is probably better than 5% OBC, imo.
