Why Choose the Blue Cash Preferred® Card?

The Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express is ideal for families and daily spenders. Earn 6% cash back at U.S. supermarkets (up to $6,000/year, then 1%), 6% on select U.S. streaming subscriptions, 3% at U.S. gas stations and transit, and 1% on all other purchases. New cardholders can also earn a $250 statement credit after spending $3,000 in the first 6 months. This card delivers high returns on everyday categories that matter most — especially groceries and streaming.

  • Is there an annual fee?

    Yes. The Blue Cash Preferred® Card has a $0 intro annual fee for the first year, then $95 per year afterward.

  • Are there foreign transaction fees?

    Yes. The card charges a 2.7% foreign transaction fee, so it’s better suited for domestic use.

  • Is the 6% at supermarkets capped?

    Yes. You earn 6% on up to $6,000 in U.S. supermarket purchases per year. After that, it drops to 1%.
