The American Express® Green Card typically isn't as flashy as some of its AmEx cousins, but right now is its time to shine.

As of May 18, 2023, the card is offering this elevated welcome bonus to new cardholders: Earn 40,000 Membership Rewards® Points after you spend $3,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Terms apply.

While The Platinum Card® from American Express and the American Express® Gold Card tend to steal the spotlight with their eye-popping perks, the sometimes-overlooked Green card was revamped in 2019 and earns solid rewards and travel perks:

American Express® Green Card

Annual fee

$150.

Rewards

• Earn 3 Membership Rewards points per $1 spent on travel, transit and restaurants worldwide.

• Earn 1 Membership Rewards point per $1 on other purchases.

• Terms apply.

Travel credits

Welcome offer

Earn 40,000 Membership Rewards® Points after you spend $3,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership.

Foreign transaction fee

If you can make use of the card’s lounge and travel credits but don’t want to pony up $695 to carry The Platinum Card® from American Express, the American Express® Green Card could be a solid choice for your wallet.
