American Express Gold: Best "non-travel" travel card
Why it's great in one sentence: The American Express Gold card earns tons of valuable Amex travel points on practically all the food-related purchases you're making even when you' re not traveling, and the credits available on the card nearly offset (抵消) its annual fee.
This card is right for: People who can use all of the card's various credits and who spend significant money at restaurants, on food delivery services or at U.S. supermarkets while they' re not on the road.
Highlights:
First, with the Amex Gold, you'll earn 4 points for every dollar you spend on restaurants worldwide, and on up to $25,000 in annual purchases at U.S. supermarkets (1 point per dollar afterwards). Most food delivery services count as “restaurants" on this card, so that means the vast majority of your food purchases will earn 4x points, regardless of how you're eating.
You'll also earn 3 points per dollar when you book airfare directly with an airline, so if you're looking to jump on any sales for flights later in the year, you can pay for them with the Amex Gold and earn extra points on those as well.
The points earned on this card are American Express Membership Rewards points, which are extremely useful. You can redeem (兑取现金) them directly for flights via Amex Travel at 1 cent each, but if you put in some extra effort and research, you can potentially get much more value from them by transferring them to any of Amex's 21 airline and hotel partners, which include Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Marriott and many more.

New children’s books on sale
Imagine That Imagine That is written for younger kids aged 3-6. One great thing about this book is that it uses real-life examples that younger children can understand easily. These examples show the magic, mystery and power within nature and within every one of us. |
The Wave The Wave is a children’s story and it’s also a clear message to teens and adults that there is usually more to life than we see with our eyes. It also helps plant an early seed in children’s minds that spirituality (灵性) isn’t just something we seek or find, but it’s a part of us all the time and every place—all we need to do is become aware. This book is probably better suited for older children, perhaps aged 5-10, as it talks about spiritual things. |
Kiss of a Dolphin Kiss of a Dolphin is a very touching story. This story is actually a series of stories about the “Dreams for Kids” organization.
