Looking for a new credit card and deciding between the Amex gold or chase sapphire preferred. Any preferences? For reference I’m in my mid 20s and live in nyc. I’m not looking to pay a huge annual fee and I have a corporate Amex green card which takes $100 off annually for Amex gold. Most of my spending goes to rent, dining, groceries, seamless, public transportation, Uber/lyft, and online shopping. I have status with delta as well but work completely remote so not traveling as much.

I’ve had both for many years. For the expenses you’re mentioning I’d do Amex Gold. Points seem to add up much quicker than than the preferred.

I have both cards as well. Agree that Amex Gold would be better.

110% go with gold. I’ve used points to fund two round trips in the year I’ve had it and have tons of points left over. You get Uber pass (10%off Uber eats/rides, free delivery), and you rack up a ton of points at supermarkets and dining. Plus you have the 100$. Go for it

I have the preferred- also 26 and not too many bills either. I used the cash bonus on vacation so it was good for me. But the regular chase freedom has so much cash back. Idk how the Amex is

Go with gold and I’ll share my refer bonus link with you ;)

The Amazon chase card is what I use!

I’m in the same dilemma. How do you get the $100 off since you own the corporate green card?

Had an epiphany recently.

Why do I work so much?

It’s because I have little family and few, if any, friends. Had a rough childhood. My way of making an impression on others has always been through work.

By working, I do something I’m good at and makes people appreciate me, while covering for my loneliness and feeling of inferiority. It’s sort of the only thing holding me afloat.

When I’m probably never going to have friends or a family of my own, becoming partner is the next best thing.
