American Express stopped taking new applications for the Green in July 2026, so this take is mainly for existing cardholders deciding whether to keep it. The card earns 3x points on travel, transit, and dining with no foreign transaction fee, and its up to $219 annual CLEAR Plus credit can cover most of the $150 annual fee if you would pay for that membership anyway. The weakness is everything else: non-bonus spending earns only 1x, and the fee is higher than several cards that now match or beat its categories. The Wells Fargo Autograph covers the same 3x travel, transit, and dining with no annual fee, while the Chase Sapphire Preferred pairs 3x dining with transferable points for $95. If you do not use CLEAR, it is worth comparing those options before your next renewal.
