I just got my November statement and Amex has upped the yearly fee to $85, and that's not including the $40 Membership Rewards fee. Costco is the only place I use it, because they don't take any other card. I'm thinking I'm going to downgrade my Gold card to one of the blue "no fee" cards. Does anyone know of any benefits of Amex anymore that I should consider before dumping it? I can't remember a situation in a very long time where I've said "hmmm, I would really benefit if I used my Amex for this purchase"
