Are you ready to go back to work? The day after a long night of drinking, spending money and not having your favorite restaurant is turning into the best day of your life. Well, it is for Thomas Gold, founder and CEO of The Gold Club, which aims to create a better world through gold. When he thinks about it, he can remember being a child with no money or care in the world. It was then that his parents told him they wouldn’t be able to pay for the school bus or other expenses at home. With his savings and unmet needs, Thomas wanted to help others as much as himself. So, he decided to start a club where everyone could get trained in how to make use of gold as an alternative currency. From there, The Gold Club has grown into something that many large corporations have been waiting years to adopt: A gold-based credit card! Starting on Feb 1 this year, Amex Gold Cardmembers can use their card for all major stores and restaurants with an approved list of authorized users — meaning no hidden fees or yearly processing fees. Depending on your interests and budget, there are different points and benefits for each category available.
The Benefits of Gold
Getting your money’s worth out of debt: The loans your family and you have all paid back will have been worth far more than the $21,000 or so you have spent on gold. Using your money for good: When you have extra money in your account, you can go out and spend it on whatever you and your friends want. What’s more, you can’t use it to acquire extra items or services as you’re required to use cash. Getting involved in an industry you love: The more common it is, the more common it will be for people to be interested in. As an example: If you own a hardware and software store, you are probably more likely to be interested in selling items there than if you were a software store. This is because the products are much more common and are more likely to be found at specific stores.
The Card’s Rewards
Rewards points: These are points that can be used to redeem products for discounts and more. There are many ways to get points, but usually, people earn them through both traditional and online methods. Rewards points redeemable for products/services: There are many different ways to get points, and you can redeem them for things like discounts or free shipping. Redeemable points: There are many different ways to obtain points, and they can be used to redeem products or services at the store or online. Travel rewards: These are points that can be used to redeem products for travel rewards.
Card Security
If you get the card and visit a certain number of stores or use the card multiple times within a period of time, you can get a special reward. For example, if you use the card 50,000 times, you can get a $100 gift card. There are different cards that give these special rewards, but the easiest way to get around it is to never use the card in a certain place or at a certain time.
Travel Protection
If you travel a lot, you’re probably familiar with the TSA PreCheck program. It’s often the first stop for travelers on international trips and it offers travel protection for third-party travelers. You don’t have to take things into your own hands and purchase travel insurance, pay for the full trip in cash, or score a security clearance. The TSA PreCheck program is not only for travelers, but for businesses that want to arrange for third-party travelers to have easy, secure travel.
Shopping Cart Use
If you use the card only when paying for things at the store, the cash register or checkout, you don’t have to worry about the credit card charges or lost objects on your credit card balance. You can simply take out a separate account and make all transactions from there.
