This card has some of the highest returns for spending at U.S. supermarkets and restaurants. With this card, you'll earn 4x points at U.S. supermarkets (up to $25,000 per calendar year in purchases, then 1X), 4x points at restaurants worldwide, plus takeout and delivery in the U.S. (up to $50,000 per calendar year in purchases, then 1x), and 3x points on flights booked directly with airlines or on amextravel.com. 

With the "As High As" welcome offer from American Express, here’s how it works: First, apply for the card which will only trigger a soft credit inquiry—and if you're approved, you’ll find out your personalized offer amount. Then if you choose to proceed, simply accept the card with your offer (Note: If you’re approved and accept the Card, your credit score will be impacted at this point in the process). Finally, meet the required minimum spending amount based on your personalized offer within the specified number of months from opening your card, and you will earn a valuable welcome offer in the form of Membership Rewards® points. Keep in mind: welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer.

The annual fee is higher than most cards of this category, but the value from benefits may be enough to convince you to apply for this card.
Note: Enrollment may be required to receive benefits or credits. 

Note: There are new card family rules on the terms of this application. You may not be eligible to receive the welcome offer on the Gold card if you have or have had The Platinum Card from American Express, Platinum Card® from American Express Exclusively for Charles Schwab or the Platinum Card® from American Express Exclusively for Morgan Stanley. Read full terms. Lastly, Amex says it will let you know if you are not eligible before applying.
