Pros and cons of getting the Amex gold versus Amex Platinum? I've been using my Chase Freedom but need an upgrade as I begin taking clients and partners out for dinners etc.

The rewards points pairing between the sapphire preferred/reserve and the freedom unlimited is POWERFUL and highly recommended. Amex has its own perks you should definitely consider, but the two chase cards together really let you efficiently rack up the points and then use them all at the sapphire’s redeem rates.

This is the correct move

Gold is better with dining. Why not chase sapphire reserve?

Also a heads up, I just came back from a trip to Europe and many places didn’t accept my girlfriend’s Amex card. Defeats the purpose of the card if you can’t use it. Everywhere accepted my sapphire reserve since it’s Visa

Chase Sapphire Reserve.

Second this/highly recommend reserve

If you’re not a big traveler, is the sapphire still worth it?

^agree. Also, this card is not a good card for cash back. You should be using the points to buy miles to get more bang for your buck
