American Express Gold Canada Review (Non-Affiliated Real Review)

AmEx Gold Canada Review | Non-Affiliated & Unbiased Review

American Express Gold Canada is a popular travel credit card giving some travel perks and features to Canadians. AmEx Gold has a $250 annual fee (1st supplementary card is free), but there is an annual $100 travel credit when you book travel through American Rxpress website, making it $150 per year.

American Express Gold Canada offers most travel insurance you would expect from a premium credit card, including trip cancellation insurance, which many other premium Amex cards do not offer.

AmEx Gold Canada offers many perks and features, but 3 big features the AmEx Gold Canada card is missing are concierge service, no foreign transaction fee, and global lounge access free passes. Although, AmEx Gold Canada provides 4 Canadian Plaza Premium Lounge passes and a complimentary Priority Pass membership, but not free passes.

A distinctive feature AmEx Gold Canada has is that it’s made of metal, not plastic. 13 grams of stainless steel feels good in your hands and cold to the touch. Although the supplementary card is plastic, not metal. I ordered a supplementary card thinking it would be metal too but was disappointed when I found out it was plastic.

 American Express Gold Canada also provides 24-hour Travel Emergency Assistance, to help in finding hospitals, embassies, doctors and lawyers around the world. This service also provides you with key travel information, including details on visa and inoculation requirements, and much more.

Travel Emergency Assistance is specific to AmEx Gold Canada (and Platinum) and many other premium Amex cards, such as AmEx Cobalt or Marriott Bonvoy, do not offer this service.
