The Amex Gold  isn’t just a card that’s nice to look at.

There’s also an up to $120 annual dining credit at  Grubhub, The Cheesecake Factory, Goldbelly, Wine.com, Milk Bar, and select Shake Shack locations. Enrollment required, plus it added an up to $120 annually ($10 per month) in Uber Cash, which can be used on Uber Eats orders or Uber rides in the U.S. All this make it a very strong contender for all food purchases, which has become a popular spending category.

The Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card is one of the most popular travel rewards credit card on the market. Offering an excellent return on travel and dining purchases, the card packs a ton of value including $300 travel credit, lounge access and much more. If you are military, the annual fee is waived for you and your spouse making it effectively a cash making card for you.  Cardholders can redeem points at 1.25 cents each for travel booked through Chase or transfer points to one of Chase’s 14 valuable airline and hotel partners.
