American Express Gold Corporate Card

American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card, or Amex MRCC, is an entry-level offering from Amex India. For referral applications, the first year is free and the annual fee is reduced to Rs 1500. However, don’t let the entry-level tag mislead you. Amex MRCC can be more rewarding than some premium credit cards if used properly. Spending Rs 20000 in a calendar month can earn us 2000 bonus MR points, making it one of the easiest ways to earn MR points. As part of the Amex MRCC, we also get access to the Gold Collection for redemption, where we can get Amazon Pay vouchers and Tanishq gift cards.
