    I have had excellent service and support from the beginning of my journey with Advantage Gold. My advisor has been nothing but helpful, supportive, and available to help me whenever I needed assistance with my account or had a question for him. He keeps me updated on how the metals are doing in the market and he lets me know that I have options to consider should I want to make any changes. He is very good to explain everything to me so I can make an informed decision. I would recommend him and Advantage Gold to my friends and family.

    I have dealt with a number of precious metals firms over the past 20 years with varying degrees of satisfaction. About 5 years ago I contacted Advantage Gold as a result of a podcast where Advantage Gold's philosophy was presented. I had the good fortune to have Richard **assigned to me as my account representative. Although all the precious metals firms are now touting Precious Metals IRAs, Advantage Gold presented me with this option during our initial meeting. What a marvelous decision.

    My wife and I have been extremely satisfied with Advantage Gold and Richard **. My account has diversified with gold, silver and platinum. Richard has always been available to address any concerns or questions we may have. Another important point - He returns phone calls. This is more than I can say for other firms. I have recommended Advantage Gold to friends and colleagues. I will continue to do business with this fine company and our excellent representative. Michael

    I was completely new to precious metals investing and feeling overwhelmed, but my advisor, Richard ** with Advantage Gold, was fantastic. He took the time to walk me through the entire process, answering all my questions without ever making me feel pressured or that any question was too elementary. The transparency regarding fees and procedures was excellent, and I really appreciate the personal touch and ongoing support. I highly recommend Richard and Advantage Gold to anyone looking to diversify their portfolio.

I have been a customer of Advantage Gold since 2018 and I have been extremely satisfied with the level of help and knowledge I received from their sales persons in investing into precious metals. My purchase of precious metals with Advantage Gold has been one of the best decisions I have made in where and how to invest my money. My interaction with them has been based on having a peace of mind knowing that it is a company that I can trust and rely on. Because of this experience I would not hesitate to recommend Advantage Gold to anyone interested in precious metals because no other company compares.

    With the market not being solid I turned my wealth into precious metals. Doing so was really easy and Advantage Gold made it an easy switchover, my IRA is making money being gold and silver are climbing in price. I’m glad to make this move before the market falls. They keep you informed on the process and if you don’t understand anything about the process they steer you towards everything that you would like buy.

    If you do business with this company, get everything in writing and check and approve every detail as the purchase moving forward. Make sure you get all the details for the precious metals you are buying. For example, the current spot price and any and all markups, not just fees, for each item. Do not allow the purchase to occur the day before a weekend or holiday because they have a 24-hour window to reject your order. If the contract says a certain percentage for the markup, make sure that is what the invoice shows, and it should be detailed. Do not believe the salesperson if they try to gaslight, you about the price you are paying versus the spot price, because they will, especially if you are new to buying precious metal.

    The contract says 7% mark up and you have 24-hours to contest, with no language for weekend and holidays and it you may not see the final invoice until more than 24 hours later or worse yet until you see your first statement from the Trust company holding your precious metals. I was charged a 50% markup and if you look for the other bad reviews on this company you will see that my transaction was not a fluke and others were charged high markups as well. See this negative post for just one examples on the internet. **. There are many more like this one out there. Contact me if you would like to discuss. **

    Do NOT let this company be your education – they will take advantage of you. Do your own homework, before, during and after and use a reputable company.They preyed on my stepmother.

    1. She intended to move less than half of her current IRA. We completed the documentation stating a specific amount. They ALTERED THE DOCUMENT that we submitted and requested her entire account be cashed out and closed and used the signature page we submitted. She was dependent on that income for 24-hr care. She went without this income for 3 months as we attempted to get the funds back in her account on our own as they were no help with their “mistake” or fees. Once they got her money they disappeared. I am still catching up on caregiving fees.

    2. In order to process her documentation, they needed to obtain a medallion signature verification. Their protocol did not involve the client. I am pretty certain that is a financial VIOLATION.

    3. Offered her some additional silver prior to her committing – gave her a “discount” instead. This was not equitable to the original offer.

    4. NO TRANSPARENCY – they took a 30+% commission/premium and state they don’t have to disclose this detail.

    5. Sold her bullion as if it's collectable – did not give purchase options for her benefit. They sold her what offered them the highest premium. Not at all in the client’s best interest.

    6. She did not receive a clearly defined statement for 6 months where this detail of their commission was evident. All of their documentation displays amounts purchased as if there is no premium or commission.

    7. The attempts to question and rectify the situation were pointless as their ‘Manager’, clearly bias to the company, repeated the same spiel as the other representative, with no resolve.

    8. The investment was $400k. They took approximately $125K. And when questioned, they say, "You’ll make it back, the metals are already going up." IRRELEVANT. She was sold 1/4 oz and ¾ oz coins. $750 for the gold ¼ oz and $33.13 for ¾ oz Silver IN 2024! IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW. Every other reputable company I have called and shared this with has confirmed, this is another unethical predatory transaction. I am not the only complaint of this nature.

I knew absolutely nothing about the Gold Business and Noel explained how it all works. He also guided me thru the various emails and forms required for the Strata Trust Company.

    If there was a sixth star, I would have checked that. My account executive was Paul **. Having never purchased metals before I felt like a fish out of water. I had my list of questions, only to find out that there was so much more to understand. Paul did not come off as your typical salesman as I had expected. He made the time and then some to be sure that I had a total understanding about my decisions. It is hard to express my appreciation for the relationship that I have established with Paul.
