Amex Upgrade Offers: Green to Cobalt & Cobalt to Gold

Every now and then, American Express puts out upgrade offers for existing cardholders of select products. By upgrading to a higher-tier card, you’ll receive a new welcome bonus, and you’ll also benefit from any other perks included with the card.

Currently, there are upgrade offers to switch from the American Express Green Card to the American Express Cobalt Card, and from the Cobalt Card to the American Express Gold Rewards Card.

While upgrade offers are sometimes only available to targeted cardholders, this current crop is available to anyone through the appropriate upgrade offer links.

Amex Green to Amex Cobalt Upgrade Offer

The American Express Green Card is the most basic Membership Rewards credit card amongst Amex Canada’s portfolio. It doesn’t have an annual fee, but it also doesn’t come with any meaningful benefits, other than the following everyday earning rates:

• 1 point per dollar spent on all purchases
• 1 additional point per dollar spent on eligible hotels and car rentals booked through the Amex Travel portal

Right now, you can choose to upgrade from this product to the American Express Cobalt Card. If you do so, you’ll earn 30,000 Membership Rewards points, so long as you make $3,000 in net purchases within the first three months after upgrading.

If you make the switch, keep in mind that the Cobalt Card comes with a $12.99 monthly membership fee, and features the following earning rates:

• 5 points per dollar spent on eats, drinks, and groceries (up to a maximum of $2,500 per month)
• 3 points per dollar spent on streaming services
• 2 points per dollar spent on travel and transit
• 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases
• 1 additional point per dollar spent on eligible hotels and car rentals through the Amex Travel portal

While the Cobalt Card is sparse on premium travel benefits, such as lounge access, its outstanding earning rates make it one of Canada’s must-have credit cards.
