Only one off the top of my head is if you're able to generate the Freedom Flex offer with groceries and gas, but it's only for the first year. It shows up time to time. I had it last year. Great card.

- 20k point sign up bonus, 3x on dining/drugstores, 5x on rotating categories
- Temporary 1 yr: 5x on groceries and gas up to $12k spend

Why are you canceling Amex Gold? It’s one of the best out there for dining and groceries.

How much did the fee increase?

If you're not set on consolidating, the blue cash preferred can't be beat for groceries (6%) and gas (3% but they regularly have 2-4% additional cash back offers at Shell and Chevron)

If you use Verizon wireless you may want to look at Verizon Visa - 4% back on gas/grocery/dining. Pretty much meh otherwise. And redemption options are limited too.
