Users would also want to move fast if they want to enjoy 10 percent cash back at U.S. restaurants up to $200 in the first six months, which is exactly what the Blue Cash Everyday Card and Blue Cash Preferred Card by American Express offer. Application runs through Amy 3 only.
Bankrate analyst Robin Saks Frankel recommends that some of the best credit cards for points include the American Express Blue Cash card, which does not come with a fee, and the Blue Cash Preferred card, which has a "relatively low" annual fee of $95.
"The main difference between the two is the way they pay back the rewards. The no-fee Blue Cash card pays 3 percent back on your purchases at the supermarket. So for every $100, you get a $3 rebate, 2 percent back at gas stations and select department stores, and 1 percent back [on all other purchases]," Frankel explained to Refinery29.
"The Blue Cash Preferred pays 6 percent back at the supermarket, 3 percent back at gas stations and select department stores, and 1 percent back [on all other purchases]. So for that $95 fee, if you spend really heavily at the super market and gas stations, you could balance out by how much you're earning back over the course of a year," he went on to say.
