The Gold card should not be viewed as a mere tool intended to make payments or cash withdrawals. Its extended guarantees, its flexibility of use, and its exclusive options prove to be a real asset in budgeting management.
Gold Card: financially attractive services
The Gold card belongs to the premium or upscale banking card category. It stands out for its notable security advantages as well as its banking services. It is primarily aimed at consumers who need more latitude in using their payment methods. People who travel frequently will also find it of particular interest. Note that to enjoy the Gold Card, opening a new bank account is not required.
Free withdrawals
With a Gold banking card, withdrawing money for free at all ATMs in the euro area is allowed. In the case of the Floa* Gold card, the cap is 1,000 euros, over a rolling seven-day period. Note, however, that some hoteliers and merchants may charge additional fees.
Simplified payments
For those who travel often abroad, the Gold Card proves to be a highly practical tool. Thanks to the Mastercard network, your upscale banking card is usable in more than 200 countries. You can settle your expenses immediately or in several installments. With contactless payment, your purchases are also settled in a single gesture. In addition to these elements, additional services may be added depending on the chosen bank. Take the Floa* Gold card as an example. Thanks to the Floa* application, the user is free to access their accounts, request financing, spread out the amount of their expenses, etc. With the Apple Pay app, purchases can also be paid directly via your iPhone. To do this, simply add your Gold Card to the app.
A bank card that contributes to increasing purchasing power
The Gold Card has a major asset: the guarantee of accumulating, as you make purchases with partner brands, money into a savings pot. Thus, with the Floa* Gold Card, you join the “my Cashback by Floa” program. By making online purchases with associated merchants, you accumulate money in your savings pot. It can then be credited to your bank account. Discounts are also immediately accessible in more than 200 stores (in-store or online). Each month, a privilege offer is proposed.
A card synonymous with security and serenity
The theft of a rental vehicle, the cancellation of a stay or criminal proceedings in a foreign country are as many threats that travelers face. The insurances included in the Gold Card provide optimal protection against these contingencies.
Indispensable guarantees in the travel context
The Mastercard insurance allows – to the holder of the Gold Card as well as to their family – to be covered following an incident that occurred within the scope of a trip. A portion of the stay costs, or even the total, is covered. Among the included guarantees, we mention possible trip interruption or cancellation. A guarantee specifically dedicated to winter sports is also integrated. Travel assistance is furthermore offered with the Gold Card. It takes effect in the event of death, injury, illness, accident or legal action. The insurance includes transport and repatriation, accommodation costs, child care. A clause also provides for the sending of medicines and other medical devices.
Protection of one’s budget and of one’s payment means
The Gold Card proves to be a relevant tool with the “best price” guarantee that is particularly interesting. If, after purchasing a product, you find that it is sold at a lower cost at another merchant, the difference will be refunded to you. The use of the Gold Card is also appreciable in terms of security. You are protected if cash is stolen or your purchases, if there is fraudulent use of your banking card, a delivery accident, etc.
How to get the most out of a Gold Card?
The options associated with a Gold Card make it advantageous in itself. Nevertheless, a few tips help to further enhance its use, especially when traveling. Before you depart on a trip, check with your bank to verify that all services and insurances of your card are properly activated. Remember that only purchases made with the card are covered. Regarding payments abroad, favor using the Gold Card rather than currency exchange to make your payments. Finally, consider taking advantage of partner loyalty programs.
The benefits of the Gold Card go well beyond a gain in flexibility in terms of payment. The integrated services and guarantees contribute to a more thoughtful management of expenses.
