American Express Gold Rewards Card – Sign up bonus increased to 25,000 Points!

Canada’s Top Hybrid Travel Rewards Card according to our rankings for three years in a row and honestly one of the best cards overall in Canada now comes with a larger sign up bonus. There were numerous times I bugged American Express to increase the bonus on the American Express Gold Rewards card and they didn’t budge on the original 15,000 Welcome Point bonus until recently when they introduced the 20,000 Point bonus when a ‘friend’ referred you to the card. Well as of today, the new sign up bonus trumps both those offers and is now 25,000 Welcome Points. What does that equate to? Well a $250 credit towards any travel via the Membership Rewards TripFlex feature or an Aeroplan Classic Flight award in North America or two round trips between Toronto and New York if you convert those points to British Airways Avios (well you really only need 18,000 points for that).  For more details on this offer or to apply for the card please visit amex.ca
