A solid no-fee cash back card that pays 3% on US supermarkets, US online shopping and US gas.
Кому подойдёт
This card suits you if you want cash back on the basics without paying an annual fee. You earn 3% at US supermarkets, on US online retail purchases and at US gas stations, each up to $6,000 a year, and 1% on everything else. Online shopping is a category many cards skip, so this one stands out if you order a lot of things online.
Кому лучше не брать
Skip it if you spend a lot on groceries, because the Blue Cash Preferred pays 6% at US supermarkets and may come out ahead even after its $95 fee. Skip it if you want a high rate on everything, since a flat 2% card beats 1% on non-bonus purchases. And as with any card, if you carry a balance, interest will outweigh the rewards.
Как получить максимум
Use it for groceries, gas and online orders, which is where the 3% rate applies. Pair it with a flat 2% card for everything else. Watch the yearly caps if you spend heavily in one category. Pay the full balance each month and set up autopay so you never pay a late fee. If your grocery bill grows, check whether moving to the Blue Cash Preferred makes sense.
