Amex Preferred Rewards Gold
Our verdict

Who should consider it?

A flexible rewards card with enhanced earning on airlines and Amex Travel, plus four airport lounge visits each year.

The headline points total is only one part of the decision. Work out whether you will naturally meet any spending target, how you plan to use the rewards, and whether the ongoing benefits outweigh the fee. Never spend more just to collect points.

What stands out

  • Four Priority Pass lounge visits per year
  • Up to £120 annual Deliveroo credit after enrolment
  • Points transfer to airline loyalty partners

What to watch

The £195 annual fee begins from year two.
