American Express Gold Card, 50K Offer Available (YMMV)

The American Express Gold card is now a great product after the recent upgrade. It earns 4X at restaurants, which is probably the best rate out there if you value Membership Rewards. It also earns 4X at supermarkets, a rate only topped by a couple of cards. You can read my review here. Now some people are seeing an offer that can earn you 50,000 Membership Rewards points.

Offer

Earn 50,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $2,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months of Card Membership.
