Is the NEW American Express Gold ACTUALLY Worth It?
In this video, we discuss all the changes made to one of the most popular credit cards, the American Express Gold Card. We cover things like why American Express decided to make changes to the card, what features changed, what stayed the same, and the change in expected value before and after refresh. And at the end, I share my final thoughts and verdict on whether the revamped American Express Gold Card is still worth it in 2024.

CAN we get your 5 years plan assumption models ? 😃
Should I apply for more than one? Appreciate the vid!
Just got promoted into an FP&A role. This was a fantastic overview. If you did deep-dive videos into each of the sub-topics you name in the "job responsibilities" and "skills required" sections it'd add even more great content to your channel, helpful for anyone else looking to get into or build out their FP&A toolkit
Great video!
Which one would you say focuses more on maths ?
I wanted to use this to go down my own route and business journey. I’m studying a commerce degree and am doing a double major. To your understanding, which two should I go for accounting, finance, or marketing analytics. And can I get a job with a major or do I need more qualifications to stand out such as an actual degree
How difficult would the transition be from a personal financial planner to an FP&A Analyst? If I hold a CFP and a Master's in Data Analytics, would that make for a smoother transition? Also, I'm making around $200k annually, bonus inclusive. How long do you think it would take to reach a comparable salary upon transitioning to FP&A from PFP?
Quality is excellent for anyone who is wondering. I live in the coldest areas in Japan and never regretted my purchase while being outside for hours.
Can anyone of these you would use for long flights? I want to feel comfortable when going on long travel. Thank you for this video.
Hello, I'm French and I'd like to come and live in Chicago and work as a commodities broker (my current job). How much do you need to earn per year to live in Chicago (same appartment as you in the video)?
Excellent video, Andrew! 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤❤
That hair looks embarrassing bruh
so with these type hoodies....would u take them to the cleaners?
Advice to you ti use mic
Great video , thanks !
Glad you liked it!
Hey I jus wanted to know can we still go for this job if we hate data crunching?!!??
not the author of the channel, but I have been working in FP&A, and I can say that you would need to work with data a lot (performing data cleaning, modeling, etc), so if you don't like to work with a large amounts of data I'd recommend to look for another opportunities.
@@vityavertu526 Hey how many YOE do you have and what is your total comp if I may ask?
@@Dertheus hi, specifically in the fpa i have 4.5 YOE (previously also 1 year of consulting in big4 (deals as u was :) ) and 1 year in accounting). As regards to comp it is not comparable to US or Canada, i am located in Ukraine, got like 35k USD net yearly.
thank you this was really helpful since im looking to intern but not sure what any of these areas were
Glad it was helpful!
Can someone who starts in tax transition to FP&A?
not the author of the channel, but I have been working in FP&A, and I can confirm that you of course you can transition to FPA, just probably take some courses on Fin Analysis, Forecasting, advanced Excel (PQ + PP), Power BI, Tableau
Thanks a ton. Can someone who start with tax at the big 4 eventually transition to an industry audit role? Is it possible to specialize in tax but also simultaneously learn audit at their public firm? My goal is to have my own practice and I’d like to be versed in tax, but with audit capabilities as well.
Amazing lay of the land. Thanks dude.
Use some of those points for a dedicated mic. Joking aside, agreed on the redemption methods.
I suggest you get a lavalier.
Good explaination. Very well discribed.
Thanks, appreciate it!
This looks like Leo’s office
get a new mic man
W video gang
Thanks!
Your video was incredibly helpful, thank you so much Andrew.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful :)
Dude excellent camera and video quality here! Always good to hear more about the credit card ladder as well - it'll be interesting to see how these tiers develop over time as annual fees change on certain cards and new cards get introduced. Great content Andrew!
Thanks, Daniel! Appreciate the support. Big fan of your videos!
@@andrewseong2 Thanks so much for that! Keep it up 🔥
Hello, do you know if the Discover it has some kind of a limit?
Are you specifically talking about the cashback match for the first year? If so, there is no limit!
How do you earn as a consultant?
Great question! I go more in depth in this video here ruclips.net/video/xyQeLGTGZaI/видео.html
Why do you keep rubbing your hands together?
Very informational!
Glad it was helpful!
For the Gildan, do u think it's thin enough for me to layer it with a bomber jacket? Or would the hanes be better?
great video thank you!!!
Glad you liked it :)
Thank you Andrew for this insightful video. The clarity solves the problem of information overload concerning these two careers. First time on your channel. Instant subs.!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful :)
Hours are pretty shit for both.
Just here to say your hair doesn’t look real. You should be a news anchor
Awesome video, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
How long of a credit history should I have to get Amex gold I have 1 year with 2 cards now
Have any good offer for Amex plat?
Great video! Do you still practice and if yes what’s your specialty?
Thanks! I actually pivoted from M&A advisory last year after working in it for about 3.5 years
Great vid man!
Thanks!
These foods make me cry so hard. Why do people work so hard only to end up with such cold and bland meals most of every day?
Bask and Vio bank offer 5.35 cd. And savings 5.30 why don’t you list these
The Champagne color of this same watch is listed as having 5atm. I wonder why that is. I prefer this color.
This was really helpful and informative for a beginner ty!
Glad it was helpful :)
Very helpful video! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!!
Love the citi custom cash card! Can we also get a 5 best travel credit cards video as well?👀
Yes! Will be putting out a video on it soon :)
Is it true that Citi is very inquiry sensitive? What a good rule of thumb to know before applying? Interesting in double cash and Citi custom cash
Even people with fair credit have a good shot at getting approved
Thank you for such a clear explanation. Kinda new to the accounting scene so everything felt overwhelming. I'm a Data Science major with a concentration on Accounting Analytics so I feel that advisory is the path for me. But I heard that not being an accounting major can be a turn off to recruiters because they want someone who's CPA eligible and I do plan on becoming CPA eligible upon completing a MAcc post-grad. How do I market myself to recruiters? I'm scared that I look like I only half one foot in the door but I'm pretty set on working in a Big 4 as an accountant, but do more work in analytics later on.
No problem! The good thing is you don't need an accounting degree to work in advisory. If you're still in school, I'd recommend networking as much as possible whether it's through career fairs, alumni events, etc. It sounds like you're positioning yourself well already so just continue to express your interest and get to know people in your preferred line of work!
