The American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Card1
Designed Exclusively
for First Republic Bank

Change isn't good. It's great. Introducing your enhanced Card membership.

Here are some of the benefits of the Preferred Rewards Gold Card:

No pre-set spending limit — The American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Card has no pre-set spending limit which gives you purchasing power that adjusts with your use of the card. No pre-set spending limit does not mean unlimited spending. Your purchases are approved based on a variety of factors including current spending patterns, your payment history, credit record, and financial resources known to us.

Membership Rewards® program2 — Earn one point for virtually every dollar you spend on your Card, and a wide variety of opportunities to earn additional bonus points. Points can be redeemed for incredible rewards from some of the finest names in travel, shopping, dining, and entertainment. Plus, points have no expiration date and there is no limit to how many you can earn.3

2,500 Membership Rewards program bonus4 — Each time you renew your Preferred Rewards Gold Card membership, you can earn 2,500 Membership Rewards bonus points.

Pay with Points5 — Fly with no blackout dates or restrictions, where you want, on any airline when you pay with points for flights on the American Express Travel website.

Gold Card Events6 — You have access to some of the best seats in the house — often before they go on sale to the general public — for theater, concerts, sporting and family events, and more.

The Event Ticket Protection Plan7 — Using your Card to purchase Tickets provides an extra layer of protection. The Event Ticket Protection Plan provides reimbursement benefits up to [$1,000] per Occurrence and up to two Occurrences per 12-month period. Just charge the entire purchase to your Card, and contact us if the Ticketholder cannot attend due to a Covered Incident as defined in Policy.

The coverage is limited to $1,000 per Occurrence, up to $50,000 per Cardmember account per policy year, and is in EXCESS of other sources of indemnity.
