All information about the American Express® Green Card, Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card and Centurion Card has been collected independently by CNN Underscored. If you're looking for the best American Express credit cards, you've come to the right place. Amex is renowned for offering premium travel rewards, high-end travel perks, benefits to enhance hotel stays and solid customer service. Whether you're a frequent traveler, a foodie or someone who simply wants to earn rewards on everyday purchases, Amex has a card for you.

This card is ideal for everyday spending without the burden of an annual fee. With elevated rewards on groceries, gas and online shopping, it's a great starter card or secondary card for maximizing rewards in key spending categories. The one downside of the Blue Cash Everyday is that you should only use it on purchases made within the US, as you'll incur a 2.7% foreign transaction fee for overseas purchases (see rates and fees).

Welcome offer: Earn 15,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $3,000 in eligible purchases on the card within your first three months of card membership. Annual fee: $0 Rewards highlights: 2X points on everyday business purchases such as office supplies or client dinners. 2X applies to the first $50,000 in purchases per year, 1 point per dollar thereafter. Terms and limitations apply. This is one of the most straightforward and valuable business cards available. It offers strong flat-rate rewards on all purchases, making it ideal for small business owners who want to earn Membership Rewards without worrying about rotating categories. When choosing an American Express card, it's important to understand the different types of rewards each card earns. Some earn Membership Rewards points, which are flexible and can be transferred to over 20 airline and hotel partners. These offer the most versatility, though maximizing their value takes some know-how. Other cards earn points or miles in a single airline or hotel loyalty program, which aren't as flexible but often come with valuable perks when you use that brand. If you're not planning to travel soon, cash-back Amex cards let you earn straight-up cash on your purchases, though you'll typically give up the chance for outsized travel redemptions. One key rule to remember: Amex has a 'once-per-lifetime' welcome bonus policy, meaning you can only earn the sign-up bonus on a specific card once. That's why it pays to apply when the offer is especially strong. With so many highly rated American Express cards, there isn't a 'best' card, as the answer depends on your personal goals. All the Amex cards on our list are strong in their own way, offering unique benefits that cater to different people. If you're looking for a card that's simple and earns cash back, then you'll want to consider either the Blue Cash Everyday or the Blue Cash Preferred. With so many similarities between the two, the best option for you depends on how much you spend each year in certain categories, especially at US supermarkets. For those looking for travel perks, you can't go wrong with the Amex Platinum. But if you don't think you'll fully utilize all the benefits that come along with this pricey card, you might want to instead consider the Amex Green. Alternatively, the Amex Gold might serve as a happy medium between the two with a balance of perks, points and a moderate annual fee. On the other hand, those who want a card that earns points or miles in a specific airline or hotel program and comes with perks tied to that airline or hotel will want to think about one of the Amex co-branded cards. If earning hotel rewards is important to you, then the Hilton Honors Aspire or Marriott Brilliant Amex is the way to go. And for the frequent or even leisure flyer, the Delta Gold Amex is a great go-to card for saving money on those pesky baggage fees. Last but not least, if you're a small business owner, you might enjoy the easy-to-use, no-annual-fee Blue Business Plus, as it can help you rack up travel rewards when spending money on your business expenses and also finance some purchases at a low cost if your business needs help to make ends meet right now. The following FAQs have been answered by CNN Underscored travel editor and credit card expert Kyle Olsen. Is Amex Gold or Amex Platinum better? Is Amex Gold or Amex Platinum better? Choosing between the Amex Gold and Amex Platinum comes down to how you spend and what you value. The Amex Gold is best for those who spend heavily on dining and US supermarkets and at restaurants worldwide. It also has a more approachable $325 annual fee. On the other hand, the Amex Platinum is built for frequent premium travelers, justifying its $695 annual fee with extra points for flight purchases and premium perks like lounge access, hotel elite status and a suite of valuable travel credits. If everyday rewards and a lower fee matter most, go with the Gold. If luxury travel benefits are your priority, the Platinum is worth it. Is American Express accepted everywhere? Is American Express accepted everywhere? In the US, American Express is now accepted at 99% of merchants that take credit cards. This is a major improvement driven by initiatives like the OptBlue program, which made Amex more accessible for small businesses. However, international acceptance still lags, and you may find fewer places abroad that take Amex. While you're unlikely to run into issues using it domestically, it's smart to carry a backup card when traveling overseas. What is the highest level American Express card? What is the highest level American Express card? The highest-level American Express card is the Centurion® Card, often called the 'Amex Black Card.' This invite-only, ultra-premium card is reserved for long-time Amex clients with exceptionally high annual spending. For most consumers, however, the Platinum Card® from American Express represents the top tier of Amex offerings. With a $695 annual fee, it delivers extensive luxury travel benefits, including access to over 1,400 airport lounges, elite hotel and rental car status and a range of valuable annual statement credits. While the Centurion Card remains an exclusive symbol of ultra wealth, the Platinum Card is widely seen as the flagship option available to the public.

Suze Orman Says She Still Pays $700 Monthly On Her Amex — But It's Made Her $705,000 In Interest
For over 40 years, Suze Orman has been a trusted voice in personal finance. In a recent episode of her "Women & Money" podcast, she shared a personal story that's part financial lesson, part blueprint for long-term wealth. Despite her current financial success, Orman revealed that she still pays $700 a month on her American Express card — but not for shopping. That $700 has helped her earn more than $705,000 in interest. Here's how she did it — and what the takeaway could be for everyday investors. Don't Miss: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Back in the early days of her financial journey, Orman admits she didn't fully trust herself with money. To build discipline, she committed to investing a fixed amount every month. Her strategy? She set up a recurring $700 charge to her Amex card that automatically funded an annuity. The annuity, offered by American Express at the time, guaranteed a 5% return. She's been doing it ever since. That $700 a month adds up to $8,400 a year. Over four decades, she's contributed $336,000 in total. Thanks to the power of compound interest, that account has now grown to over $1 million — including $705,000 in interest earned. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. Orman tells this story to highlight a few timeless principles. First, she automated her savings. By committing to the monthly Amex charge, she eliminated the temptation to skip a payment or spend the money elsewhere. Second, she gave her investment time to grow. Compound interest — where interest earns more interest — is most powerful over decades. In her case, that 5% annual return didn't just add up; it multiplied. Finally, she stuck with it. Even now, she still makes the $700 monthly contribution. The annuity currently earns about $50,000 in interest each year — far more than she message wasn't just about her annuity. It was about mindset. "True wealth is built little by little, month by month," she said. It's not about hitting it big with one stock or timing the market. It's about consistent saving, smart investing, and giving your money time to grow. She also cautioned against focusing on consumption over savings. While it's easy to think money is for enjoying life — vacations, new cars, or brand-name goods — Orman told her listeners that money's primary role is to provide security, especially when you can no longer work. For listeners wondering how to build wealth in today's market, Orman emphasized the importance of having a long-term plan. Whether you're investing in individual stocks, ETFs, or annuities, she advised thinking about your future — not just the next big gain. Her story also highlights that you don't need a large lump sum to begin. A steady monthly contribution, even a modest one, can grow into something significant over time. As Orman put it, "You build it one paycheck at a time, one investment at a time, one savings account at a time."

Hurzeler proud of his team as they finish it in style
Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler says he is 'very proud' of how his side finished the Premier League season – but admits consistency must improve if Albion are to push on again next term. The Seagulls ended their campaign with a thumping 4-1 win away at Tottenham, a result that secured an eighth-place finish – the second-best in the club's history. While Chelsea's result meant there will be no European football at the Amex next season, Hurzeler was full of praise for his players and staff. 'I'm very pleased with how we reacted after half-time,' he said. 'We showed personality, great character, and a much better style of play. Our positioning in possession improved, and we had better reactions when we lost the ball. So overall I was very pleased with how we finished the season.' Albion sign off in style - but flickering Euro hope is over One of the standout moments of the match came from homegrown midfielder Jack Hinshelwood, who scored twice and was praised by his manager for his resilience and dedication. 'Of course, regarding Jack – I'm very pleased and very happy for him,' Hurzeler said. 'He went through all the academy teams, suffered in the last period but never gave up. He always showed great performances in training and tried to improve every day. Today he got the rewards for all that effort.' Reflecting on his first season in the Premier League, Hurzeler admitted it had been a steep learning curve. 'It's been challenging, but we went through it together,' he said. 'We faced adversity and showed personality and character. I'm very proud of the team and how we performed. We collected a high number of points – in many other seasons, it would've been enough for Europe. 'But I'm happy we always stuck to our style of play. We never lost it. We always had high intensity, showed courage in possession. We've built a foundation – and on that we must continue building. The main point for next season is consistency. Consistency in results, consistency in performances – that's where we must improve.' Asked whether he had paid attention to other results that ultimately sealed Brighton's fate outside the European places, the head coach was unequivocal. 'No, no, no. I was in my tunnel when I coached my team,' he said. 'I can't have distractions. I said before the game – focus on what you can influence. That's all we can do.'

The Company plans to complete an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) utilizing the 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate, expected later this year. Victor Cantore, President and CEO, Director of Amex Exploration commented, "We are thrilled to announce an updated Mineral Resource Estimate which shows an increase in contained ounces as well as grade. The high-grade, continuous nature of the Champagne Zone in particular, puts Amex in a unique position with exceptional flexibility for the development of the Project, which will be analyzed in detail for an updated PEA. This Mineral Resource Estimate demonstrates the team's ability to identify and grow the Perron Project into a world class gold asset." Cantore continued, "Given the quality of the project, we are pursuing a dual pathway of development and continued exploration at Perron. In today's gold price environment, these ounces are extremely lucrative, however, are also highly resilient to fluctuations in gold prices and I expect our upcoming PEA to reflect very positive economics. I look forward to updating all stakeholders in the coming weeks." Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration added, "I believe the 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate clearly illustrates that the Perron Project is a tier one asset, when one takes into consideration the grade and continuity of gold mineralization along with the location and supporting infrastructure. We have yet to fully explore the Perron Project and with the addition of the Perron West, we have a district scale property for exploration and blue-sky upside. I would like to thank everyone involved in updating this Mineral Resource Estimate." Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - May 21, 2025) - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) ("Amex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") on the company's flagship Perron Project in the northwestern Abitibi region of Quebec. The Company engaged P&E Mining Consultants Inc. ("P&E"), established in 2004 and having produced more than over 450 NI 43-101 Technical Reports, to construct a 2025 MRE using 46,355 m of new drilling data as well as 562,137 m of previous drill data and a renewed focus on grade with tighter wireframe modelling (see below for further details). Consistent with the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate, the majority of gold ounces come from the Company's newly renamed Champagne Zone ("Champagne Zone") (previously named the High Grade Zone), with important contributions from the Denise ("Denise"), Gratien ("Gratien"), Grey Cat ("Grey Cat") and Team Zones ("Team"). Geologic reinterpretation of some zones has allowed for more realistic high-grade, narrow vein potentially mineable stope shapes that are expected to have a positive impact on an updated PEA to be released later this year. All zones on the Property remain open for further expansion. With the Company's recent land acquisition (see Press Release dated March 25, 2025), Amex is positioned to make further discoveries and transform Perron to a potential district sized mining camp. Amex will be hosting a webinar Thursday, May 22, 2025 with Victor Cantore, CEO and Aaron Stone, VP Exploration at 10:00 am EDT to discuss the updated MRE in more detail. Please register here: 2025 MRE Highlights: Open pit and underground stope constrained Mineral Resources of 1.615 Moz Measured and Indicated at 6.14 g/t in 8.183 Mt Au and 698 koz Inferred at 4.31 g/t Au in 5.044 Mt. Underground stope constrained Mineral Resources of 1.357 Moz of Measured and Indicated at a grade of 7.52 g/t Au in 5.614 Mt and 631 koz of Inferred at a grade of 4.90 g/t Au in 4.000 Mt. Open pit constrained Mineral Resource s of 258 koz of Measured and Indicated at a grade of 3.12 g/t Au in 2.569 Mt and 68 koz of Inferred at 2.02 g/t Au in 1.044 Mt. Excellent continuity throughout the Project with exceptional high grade throughout, specifically in the Champagne Zone which alone hosts 831 koz Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at 16.20 g/t Au in 1.594 Mt and 128 koz Inferred at 9.83 g/t Au in 406 kt. Grade increases with added confidence in the Champagne Zone, as drill spacing is tightened to upgrade Mineral Resources from Inferred to Measured and Indicated which speaks to the exceptional continuity of the Champagne Zone. See Table 2 The 2025 MRE better reflects the high-grade nature of mineralization at Perron. By constraining the sample grade assays to selective narrow veins and structures, improved confident and higher-grade ounces have been realized in multiple zones, significantly reducing MRE modelling dilution. All zones remain open at Perron, providing excellent future Mineral Resource expansion potential. Metallurgical test work by SGS Canada achieved an overall gold recovery of up to 99% in the Champagne Zone and better than 95% in the Denise, Team, Gratien and Grey Cat Zones. The excellent nearby infrastructure including housing, roads, electricity and labour continues to play a vital role at the Perron Project. The Company plans to complete an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) utilizing the 2025 MRE, expected later this year. The Perron Project also hosts VMS (copper-zinc) mineralization that has not been included in the updated MRE nor has any of the silver credits that exist in some zones of the Property. These remain an added upside value at the Project that the Company can decide to include and expand on at any time. See Figure 1 for the location of the Perron Project, Figure 2 for a plan view of modelled wireframes in the 2025 Mineral Resources on the Property, Figure 3 for a longitudinal projection view of 2025 Mineral Resources constrained within open pits and underground stopes, and Table 1 for a summary of total Mineral Resources, Table 2 for summary of total Mineral Resources by zone and Table 3 for parameters used to constrain the 2025 Mineral Resources at Perron. Further Details of 2025 MRE Perron's 2025 Mineral Resource increase in overall grade, tonnage and therefore ounces has been realized due to multiple factors including: Data Analysis An additional 46,355 m of drilling containing 30,114 assay results since the completion of the 2024 MRE were included, providing further levels of geologic detail on the Property. Revision of the capping threshold for certain zones where statistically viable and coefficient of variation confirms. Geologic Interpretation Revised modelling interpretations resulting in a high-grade, narrow vein/structure approach versus large, massive mineralized zones formerly for Denise and Team Zones. This method takes away tonnage in certain areas of the project (see Figure 4 for an example in the Champagne Zone), however, focuses on quality grade and is therefore expected to have a positive impact on an updated PEA. Amex and P&E consider that this is a more accurate representation of the mineralization at Perron, where the majority of a future mining operation would be focused on high-grade, narrow vein material. Mineralized wireframes have been refined and filled in along strike and extended down dip, thus explaining the increase in overall tonnage. Geologic Modelling Reinterpretation has resulted in improved continuity restricting data and modelling to narrow veins and structures. Optimization of search ellipses in accordance to vein and structure orientations has resulted in more realistic grade propagation within block models which has had an overall positive impact on grade and ounces (see Figure 5). The 2025 MRE has also realized a significant increase in the amount of Measured and Indicated ("M&I") Mineral Resource ounces on the Project, due to factors including: Additional Data A further 46,355 m of drilling across multiple zones containing 30,114 samples has provided significantly more geological information therefore improving the confidence and quality of the MRE. Geological Interpretation The additional data and improved geologic understanding of the zones has allowed for improved continuity within veins and their structures therefore increasing the confidence and quality of grade estimates. Geological Modelling Using variable orientation to guide search ellipses has resulted in more potentially mineable stope shapes. Systematic review of classification resulted in manually smoothing classification solids after performing algorithmic classification (see Figure 6). Aaron Stone, Vice President Exploration of Amex Exploration continued, "This updated Mineral Resource proves that as we improve our geological understanding of the mineralization at Perron and the structures in which they are hosted, we can continue to unlock significant value in the Project. A renewed focus on grade has removed unnecessary modelling dilution in many areas of the Project, which in turn has increased the grades of many zones, highlighted by the exceptional Champagne Zone. With the additional data received since the 2024 Mineral Resource and an increased level of geological confidence, the mineralized wireframes in many areas have been better filled and expanded, resulting in overall increases in total tonnage and ounces. With the recent addition of the Perron West Project to our portfolio, I am excited by the prospect of making further discoveries along the Normétal-Burntbush Greenstone Belt, which remains highly unexplored in comparison to other greenstone belts in the Abitibi region."

Cautionary statement: These Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they have not demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. Totals may not sum due to rounding of numbers. Figure 4: Example from the Champagne Zone displaying the renewed focus on grade, removing internal modelling dilution with the vision of a rich, narrow vein mining operation. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Figure 5: Another example of the renewed focus on grade vs volume. Additionally, two important changes for the Denise Zone were 1) increased tonnage of high-grade blocks by using variable orientation instead of search ellipses against the grain of domain and 2) based on geological understanding, wireframes we made sub-vertical which will allow for more cost-effective long hole stoping.

Mineral Resources are presented undiluted and in situ and are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The Mineral Resources near surface are constrained by pit optimization surfaces and the underground Mineral Resources are constrained by potentially mineable stope shapes. The database is comprised of a total of 1,807 drill holes for 608492.30 metres of drilling (which includes historical drilling completed by previous operators, abandoned and exploration holes) in the extent of the Mineral Resource, of which (359 087.40 metres) 305,523 samples were assayed as of March 31, 2025, grid spacing is variable. All NQ core assays reported by Amex were obtained by analytical methods described below under "QA/QC". Geological interpretation of the zones was based on lithologies, mineralized zones orientation and cut-off grade considerations. Each zone has its own characteristic of mineral occurrence and amount of recoverable gold. Geological wireframe interpretation was initially made from cross-sections at intervals in GEMSTM, and then completed in LeapfrogTM where selections of mineralized intervals were combined to generate mineralized wireframes. Wireframes are generally subvertical with various plunges. The Mineral Resource Estimate encompasses a total of 115 wireframes, sub-vertical gold-bearing domains each defined by individual wireframes with a minimum downhole width of 2.0 m. Assay Samples were composited within the mineralization envelopes into 1.0 m length composites. A value of 0.001 g/t Au was applied in cases of drill core not assayed. High grade capping was done on composite data and established using a statistical analysis on a per-zone basis for gold. Capping varied from 5 g/t Au to 500 g/t Au and was applied on composites within each specific wireframe. Bulk density values were applied on the different mineralized zones varied from 2.7 to 2.8 t/m3 based on site drill core measurements. Inverse distance cubed grade interpolation was used. Grade estimates are based on a parent block dimension of 5m x 5m x 5m with sub-cells down to 1 x 1 m x 1 m. Search parameters were determined by variography. The Perron Mineral Resource Estimate is classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred as follows: The Measured Mineral Resource classification is defined by areas where drill hole sample spacing is less than 10 m, blocks are informed by a minimum of three drill holes, and reasonable geological and grade continuity is shown. The Indicated Mineral Resource classification is defined by areas where drill spacing is less than 30 m (except Champagne Zone at 40 m), blocks are informed by a minimum of two drill holes, and reasonable geological and grade continuity is shown. The Inferred Mineral Resource classification is defined by the limits of the constraining wireframes, blocks are informed by a minimum of one drill hole, and reasonable, however, not verified, geological and grade continuity is observed. Grade estimates use metric units (metres, tonnes and g/t). Metal contents are presented in troy ounces (metric tonnes x grade / 31.10348). The QPs are not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political or marketing issues, or any other relevant issues that could materially affect the Mineral Resource Estimate. Further details regarding the 2025 updated Mineral Resource Estimate, key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the Mineral Resources of the Perron Gold Project will be available on SEDAR+ ( under the Corporation's issuer profile within 45 days of this news release in accordance with NI 43-101.
