Once you apply and find out your welcome offer, which could be as high as 100,000 points, the points would be awarded after you spend $6,000 on eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. (Note: Welcome offers vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer. If you’re approved and accept the card, your credit score may be impacted.)
Based on TPG’s July 2025 valuations, 100,000 Membership Rewards points are worth $2,000. However, the actual value you’ll get from these points will vary depending on how you redeem them.
Luckily, the roster of Membership Rewards transfer partners is packed with loyalty programs, including Delta SkyMiles, Hilton Honors and Air Canada Aeroplan, which can help you realize even higher value for your points when redeeming for award seats or hotel stays.
Many TPG staffers and readers love the Amex Gold Card for its high earning rate of 4 points per dollar spent on dining at restaurants worldwide and groceries at U.S. supermarkets.* The card even has travel perks and insurance benefits.
* Four points per dollar at restaurants worldwide (on up to $50,000 in purchases per calendar year) and on groceries at U.S. supermarkets (on up to $25,000 in purchases per calendar year), then 1 point per dollar spent thereafter.
