The Amex Green Card is worth it for frequent travelers with above-average credit who buy airport lounge day passes and prefer expedited airport security. Customers with enough dining expenses to help offset the card’s $150 annual fee may also find the Amex Green Card worth applying for.
Aside from offering 3 points per $1 spent on travel and dining purchases and an initial bonus of 45,000 points, what makes the Amex Green Card particularly worthwhile is an annual $100 credit toward the cost of a yearly CLEAR membership (currently $179 per year), which provides faster security screening at airports and other venues. There’s also a yearly $100 LoungeBuddy credit that offsets the cost of airport lounge day passes purchased with the LoungeBuddy app. By making the most of these travel-friendly perks, the Amex Green Card’s annual fee will easily pay for itself.
However, the card most likely won’t be worth it if you’re unable to pay the balance in full and on time every month. The interest you’ll pay on the balance will cut into the card’s overall value.
