Your journey, your rules: This credit card keeps every adventure safely on track

In everyday life or when travelling - good credit cards have many small and large advantages. Of course, they enable cashless payments worldwide. The best ones also offer attractive bonus programmes, exclusive benefits and comprehensive insurance services. The benefits package of the American Express® Gold Card made of metal is at the forefront and is also very interesting for travellers. We show where and when the Gold Card comes into its own.

Advantages for hotel bookings, car hire and taxis

Most hotels and car hire companies won't accept a deposit. The American Express Gold Card made of metal not only makes these processes particularly simple and secure with worldwide acceptance, but also saves you money. The SIXT car subscription includes EUR 15 mobility credit. An offer that is always particularly worthwhile if you are not permanently dependent on a car. Also included is GHA Discovery Gold status, which gives you access to exclusive benefits at over 800 hotels in 100 countries.

And another mobility advantage is already on board. With a monthly starting credit of five euros on the FREENOW taxi app service, taxi journeys throughout Europe become noticeably cheaper. You can get safely from A to B in 150 European cities - including pick-up points at 50 airports.

Cost-effective online everywhere

Anyone travelling outside the EU quickly realises how expensive data roaming still is. Local SIM cards are an alternative. However, if you don't feel like fighting your way through the jungle of offers in a foreign language, American Express offers a practical solution with its partner eSIMfirst. Without having to swap SIM cards, you can be online worldwide at low cost. The American Express Gold Card made of metal includes a global roaming credit of eight euros per month and a further ten per cent discount with eSIMfirst.

Top insurance cover for the worst-case scenario

Carefree travelling abroad and at home. Nobody likes to worry about what could go wrong. Insurance provides more peace of mind. The Gold Card comes with comprehensive Insurance package and is therefore an excellent choice for travellers.

Included are among others*

• Travel cancellation insurance
• Health insurance for travelling abroad
• Europe-wide motor insurance cover
• Protection in the event of flight or baggage delays
• Transport accident insurance

Earn miles with the American Express Membership Rewards programme

Gold Card holders automatically gain access to the American Express Membership Rewards® programme. Basically, you collect Membership Rewards points with every credit card transaction (one Membership Rewards point per euro spent). So far so familiar.
