American Express refreshed their Premier Rewards Gold card last year and, along with increased annual fees and new benefits, introduced a limited-time Rose Gold version of the card. Amex must have done their marketing homework because it turned out that this color was immensely popular.
I would never suggest signing up for a credit card because of the color or material a card uses, but if you do want the 50,000 points and you like the rose gold color, you have 1 week left to apply. Personally, the rose gold does not appeal to me but I may be in the minority on that one!
The Rose Gold card option and the 20% back at US restaurants will go away from the offer as of January 9.

The New Card Perks
It will also come with $120 in dining credits per year, spread out as a $10 max credit each month. These are good for Grubhub, Seamless, The Cheesecake Factory, Ruth’s Chris Steak House and participating Shake Shack locations. So, if you wanted to stop in at the Cheesecake Factory every month, you could get a “free” slice of cheesecake with this. 
For the first 3 months for new members (this part of the offer also expires January 9), you will also be able to take advantage of a statement credit of 20% back on US restaurant purchases, up to $100 back. This is American Express really trying to get new members used to using this card for dining!
But, all of this comes with an increased annual fee – $250 per year up from $195. The bad part is that the annual fee is not even waived for the first year for new members.
