On February 4 2021, social media rumors began spreading about American Express (AmEx)’s Rose Gold version of its Gold charge card — namely that the long-coveted variant of the Gold Card in Rose Gold had returned:
AmEx’s Rose Gold iteration of its Gold Card was a frequent topic of discussion on credit card discussion boards, where users constantly speculated about when — or if — American Express would re-introduce the limited-edition color:
Interest in the card had remained strong, and cardholders sometimes expressed concern that replacing a damaged Gold Card in Rose Gold would revert their card back to the standard AmEx Gold Card:

Many American Express Gold Card holders were interested in the Rose Gold version of AmEx’s Gold Card, and @AskAmex initially demurred when asked about when or if the iteration would be available as of February 4 2021. However, @AskAmex later responded to clarify that the Rose Gold card was available, and advised interested cardholders to contact AmEx via the number on the back of their card to swap their regular Gold Cards out for Rose Gold variations.
