If you have a big family to feed you most likely spend tons of money at the grocery store. You can add up coupons all day long but this card will save you the most. A 6% discount on groceries is basically what you are getting with this cash back card at grocery stores. The card has an annual fee but it pays for itself with the generous cash back and the $250 bonus.
Earn $250 after spending $1,000 in first 3 months.
Earn 6% cash back at US supermarkets; 3% cash back at US gas station and select US department stores; 1% cash back on other purchases.
With this credit card, you can get access to Amex Offers, which often offers very good discounts at some stores. In the past we have seen offers like: Spend $15 or more and get $5 back at Walmart; Spend $75 or more and get $25 back on Amazon
This is also a great card to have to buy Christmas Gift Cards for the stores that you visit frequently (such as Shell, Amazon, Uber, etc) or Visa Gift Cards in supermarkets, use your Blue Cash Preferred to buy them and you can get 6% cash back (up to $6000 per year)! If you use the card this way than you can make anything 6% back.
Disadvantages
$95 annual fee but the bonus pays for this.
Only first $6,000 purchases per Annual Reward Year (12 billing periods in a row beginning with the one that includes January 1st) at US supermarkets can earn 6% cash back, after that you can only earn 1%.
According to American Express; Target, Walmart, and Costco do not count as supermarkets, and you can only get 1x when shopping there.
This credit card is on the American Express Network, not Visa or MasterCard, so some small stores may not accept it.
Bottom Line
This is a great card for those who do lots of grocery shopping. Personally, I used the card for the bonus and plan to downgrade to the non-annual fee card when the annual fee comes due. AMEX actually prorates the annual fee for those that apply before the end of the year so you can cancel in January and keep most of the $250 bonus. Pretty simple stuff to make some easy money and get 6% back on buying Christmas gift cards for relatives.
After you apply you may check with the AmEx reconsideration backdoor number: 877-399-3083.

If you dine or pick up food at McAlister’s, Cinnabon, or Schlotzsky’s you can get an easy 10% off instantly in the app or when you check out at the counter. These fast-food restaurant chains are offering this as part of many AARP discount s. There are several other restaurants that offer AARP discounts but these stick out because they are ones you may pick up food from more often or are most likely to use. We also found it was really easy to link the accounts to the AARP number and you just press the discount button to apply it each time instead of having to print out a coupon or beg the person at the counter to get the ten percent savings.
You can get this offer by signing up for AARP membership which you can get at any age. I actually made money from signing up for my membership because I paid with a Chase Credit card that had it with $6 back with Chase Offers plus I clicked a link with TopCashBack (you can also use Swagbucks or Rakuten network) for an additional $12 back. The membership link for AARP I clicked on said it was only $12 to sign up the first year so I basically made $6 back from signing up even though I paid $12 on the credit card.
McAlister’s Deli Rewards member will receive 10% off future orders just for linking your AARP membership to your McAlister’s Rewards account. This also applies to Cinnamon rolls or anything you order at Cinnabon locations.
As a Schlotzsky’s Rewards member you can also easily link your AARP membership you get 10% off your future Schlotzsky’s orders!
At Schlotzsky’s you also get a birthday bonus and free chips and a drink along with the 10% off each day! Plus the BOGO Pizza!
To use this offer online, you must be logged into Schlotzsky’s Rewards.
Click “Log In”, then search for locations in your area.
At your chosen location, select “Offers”

They have really tasty pizza better than Domino’s or many other pizza chains if you ask us. We make it a date night each week for the buy one, get one free pizza.
