I personally have both but make much more use out of the Amex Gold because of eating out and groceries.

I think both are solid but if you can see yourself consistently using the monthly credits then getting the Amex Gold first would be my way to go.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
