A recent example required 57,100 points for 2nd generation AirPods Pro, which normally retail for $249 (or less).

You also may not be eligible to receive a welcome offer based on various factors, such as your history with credit card balance transfers, your history as an American Express Card Member, the number of credit cards that you have opened and closed and other factors. If you are not eligible for a welcome offer, we will notify you prior to processing your application so you have the option to withdraw your application.&#8221;    <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition to the card-specific rules, it's important to understand the general American Express application rules for each type of card.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Strategy_and_pairings\">Strategy and pairings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We see massive value in pairing the <a data-ccid=\"4048174\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/AmericanExpressGreenCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Amex Green Card<\/a> with other Amex cards like the <a data-ccid=\"4028089\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/amex-membership-rewards\/amex-platinum\/\">American Express Platinum Card<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, matching the premium benefits and lounge access with the complimentary bonus categories and perks of the Amex Green Card.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the Amex Green Card isn't a typical credit card and doesn't include a preset spending limit. <\/p>\n<p class=\"remark\"><em>No Preset Spending Limit means the amount you can spend adapts based on factors such as your purchase, payment, and credit history.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the card <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/charge-card-vs-credit-card\/\" rel=\"noopener\">bridges the gap between charge and credit card<\/a> as a new kind of hybrid card. Amex describes it as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Green from Amex is a card on which Card Members have no preset spending limit and can pay in full or carry a balance with interest on eligible charges, up to the Pay Over Time limit. The amount the Card Member spends above their Pay Over Time limit is included in full in their minimum due each month.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a result, assume that the Amex Green Card is treated as a credit card. In short, this means that folks with four or more Amex credit cards will need to close one of their other accounts to be approved for a new account. Also, make sure to mind Amex's rule about only opening two cards every 90 days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/rewards-card-application-rules\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Understanding Rewards Credit Card Application Rules and Restrictions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Cards_That_Compete_With_the_Amex_Green_Card\">Cards That Compete With the Amex Green Card<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To help you make a more informed decision, here's a bit of info about the <a data-ccid=\"4048174\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/AmericanExpressGreenCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Amex Green Card<\/a>&#8216;s closest competitors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you're not over 5\/24<\/strong>, the <a data-ccid=\"2061159\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/chase-ultimate-rewards\/chase-sapphire-preferred\/\">Chase Sapphire Preferred<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/a> is an excellent travel card that charges a $95 annual fee.

credits provided by the <a data-ccid=\"4048174\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/AmericanExpressGreenCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Amex Green Card<\/a>, the card almost becomes a must-have. Even better, you'll earn valuable Membership Rewards points on your spending, redeemable in several ways but objectively worth more towards award travel.<\/p>\n<p>However, you'll want to make a couple of considerations before completing an application for the Amex Green Card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">First, the current 40,000-point welcome offer is low compared to what we've seen in the past. Assuming you're eligible for the bonus, you'll want to be completely content with the offer before applying, as Amex has a once-in-a-lifetime rule regarding welcome bonuses. There might be value in waiting for a better public offer to circulate or watching for targeted offers.<\/p>\n<p>Second, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/amex-membership-rewards\/amex-rewards-cards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">American Express offers several cards that earn Membership Rewards points<\/a>. It's worth comparing all the options in front of you before deciding on one card, as it's possible that others might be more optimized for your spending habits.<\/p>\n<p>On balance, the Amex Green Card is a quality option for frequent travelers. Compared to other cards in the Amex portfolio, it offers a more reasonable annual fee and a more comprehensive range of earning categories. &#8220;Travel&#8221; and &#8220;restaurants&#8221; cover such a large portion of many people's (and traveler's) spending! But again, make sure you're content with the offer before you complete an application; you'll only get the welcome offer once.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"qs-card\" data-id=\"4048174\">\n            <div class=\"qs-data\">\n                <div class=\"qs-view\">\n                    <div class=\"qs-cardname\">American Express<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Green Card<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"qs-image\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.nextinsure.com\/imaging\/opt\/508ed403-ac18-4d8f-91ea-80c86f92d7b0.png\" width=\"150\" alt=\"American Express\u00ae Green Card\" \/ class=\"lazyload\"><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"qs-apply\"><a class=\"qs-how-apply\" data-ccid=\"4048174\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/AmericanExpressGreenCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">How to Apply<\/a><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"qs-rates\"><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"qs-offer\"><strong>Welcome Offer<\/strong>\r\nEarn 40,000 Membership Rewards<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Points after you spend $3,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. <br>\r\n<em>(This card is not available through AwardWallet)<\/em><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"qs-info\">\n                    <strong class=\"qs-cardname\">American Express<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Green Card<\/strong>\n                    <div class=\"qs-offer\"><strong>Welcome Offer<\/strong>\r\nEarn 40,000 Membership Rewards<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Points after you spend $3,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. <br>\r\n<em>(This card is not available through AwardWallet)<\/em><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"qs-fee\"><strong>Annual Fee:<\/strong><b>$150<\/b><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"qs-tabs\"><a class=\"qs-more\" href=\"#more\">Show more<\/a><a href=\"\" data-tab=\"wwl\">Why We Like It<\/a><a href=\"\" data-tab=\"er\">Earning Rates<\/a><div class=\"qs-tab-wwl\">The American Express<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Green Card is an excellent mid-tier travel card, offering 3X points on restaurants worldwide, transit, and travel purchases, including airfare and hotels.
