The Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express is a top cash-back card for families and frequent shoppers, offering 6% cash back on up to $6,000 per year in purchases at U.S. supermarkets (then 1%) and on select U.S. streaming subscriptions. This high cash-back rate on groceries and streaming makes it especially valuable for those with larger household spending in these categories.
In addition to grocery rewards, the Blue Cash Preferred® Card also provides 3% cash back at U.S. gas stations and on transit (including taxis, rideshare, parking, tolls, trains, and buses). Cardholders earn 1% cash back on all other purchases, ensuring you earn rewards no matter where you spend.
The card carries a $0 intro annual fee for the first year, then $95, which can be quickly offset for cardholders who maximize the cash-back categories. New cardholders may also benefit from introductory offers, such as a 0% introductory APR period on purchases, making it useful for those planning larger initial expenses.
Overall, the Blue Cash Preferred® Card is ideal for households with consistent grocery, gas, and streaming spending who want to maximize cash-back earnings in these areas. Terms apply to all benefits.
