American Express Expands High Value Spend With Gold Refresh And Lowe’s Card

• American Express (NYSE:AXP) is rolling out a major refresh of its Gold Card, adding new and enhanced dining and travel benefits, a revamped digital experience, and extra perks without changing the annual fee.
• The company is also extending its reach with a new American Express co branded card for professionals through a partnership between Lowe’s and Synchrony, widening Amex acceptance beyond Lowe’s stores.

These moves tap into two core strengths for American Express: premium consumer spending and business customer relationships.
