🎬VIDEO - Watch Me Apply - Amex Blue Cash Everyday!
• *WATCH ME APPLY* Amex ...
The Amex Blue Cash Everyday card is basically the little brother to the Amex Blue Cash Preferred. Ever since American Express refreshed the card with new benefits in July 2022, it’s now become one of the best cash back credit cards available at the moment!
It awards 3% cash back at U.S. Supermarkets, U.S. Online Retail purchases, and U.S. gas stations, each one capped at $6,000 spend per year (then 1% until it refreshes the following year).
I’m also happy to say that the $25 minimum redemption requirement is GONE :D
As an additional note, I had the Amex Blue Cash Everyday card before. That account was closed back in April 2018, so roughly 4.5 years ago.
You may be familiar with the ‘Amex Lifetime Rule,’ which says that you cannot receive a welcome offer if you currently “have or have had” that Amex credit card before.
However, that ‘lifetime’ is only as long as Amex’s system keeps track of your previous accounts. There’ve been data points that American Express may only look back around 4-5 years.
Furthermore, the Amex Pop Up window should appear if you’re ineligible for a signup bonus.
I didn’t receive that pop-up, so there’s a good chance that I’ll be able to get the bonus again! (Though we’ll have to wait until I meet the spend requirement first) :D
Meanwhile, I look forward to using this new cash back credit card for a lot of my online purchases that would only earn 1% - 2% on other cards.
As part of an overall credit card strategy, using this one along with others like the Citi Custom Cash, Citi Double Cash credit card, Chase Freedom Flex, and others can make for a really strong cash back setup covering a variety of different categories.
And best of all, this is a credit card with no annual fee (so all the rewards are profit in your pocket)!

If I cancel the Gold card, I want to also get the SavorOne again and would have 2 cards that are 3% for groceries and for dining. For dining, I would have the Bilt, Freedom Unlimited and when I'm out of 5/24 jail, I want get the Flex to complement the Discover Cash Back and another 3x dining card along with Bilt and Freedom Unlimited.

I currently have the Blue Cash Preferred & have had it for 10 1/2 years & have had both designs which is close to the Blue Cash Everyday & I also have had a similar to newer design of the Blue Cash Everyday & Blue Cash Preferred with the Cash Magnet card. When you receive a new card new 1 really means how many cards they sent you at that moment. If you had an authorized user it would say most likely say new 2 because number of cards they sent you at that moment.

That being said, I do like the rewards multipliers on the BCP better, especially having the annual fee waived for the first year. As always, great content, Mark.

Custom Cash is still on my short list to consider for my next card sometime next spring or early summer.

    Depends on people's goals / spending categories. I personally don't consider it a catch-all card since most of my catch-all purchases would only qualify for 1%. It depends on what 'catch-all' means for your budget.

    @@8ballMarcucilli - Editing my previous reply. I DO mix travel & cash back as part of an overall strategy when it fits my goals / interests. However, when I see the word 'trifecta,' I tend to think of setups that earn the same type of rewards currency (e.g. same type of points / same type of miles / or cash back). But broadening the definition, it really doesn't matter. All that matters is that you get the cards that provide you with what you want 👍

    I’m gonna be product changing my BCP soon to BCE because I don’t use the 6% at grocery as much as I thought but do more online shopping so 3% seems attractive. I was just not sure when to do the pc because I opened the card this year. Should I do it the same month when I was approved for BCP or wait after I see the annual fee later in the month (don’t wanna lose the bonus I got on it).

    I'd personally wait until you've had the card open for a full year. I like to wait until the annual fee hits again, then contact Amex & downgrade. You can get the full fee refunded if you do the downgrade within about 30 days of the fee posting.
