Amex Blue Cash Preferred Best Bonus

The American Express Blue Cash Preferred offers the best rate for supermarket purchases. You can get 6% back at U.S. supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year. You also get 6% on select U.S. streaming subscriptions and 3% on transit and gas. The card also usually has a decent welcome bonus. Now the bonus has gotten even better. You can get a total of $400 and the annual fee of $95 is waived the first year. However this bonus requires $1,000 in Amazon spend. This offer is showing up publicly, but also through referrals, but the offer that you get could vary.

Guru’s Wrap-up

This Amex Blue Cash Preferred $400 welcome bonus with the waived annual fee is the best we have seen I believe. The previous best was $350. It does require you to spend $1,000 on Amazon purchases to get half of the bonus, so it only makes sense if you shop on Amazon often. It’s also available through referrals, which makes every Amex welcome bonus much better. The person referring you can also earn up to 30K points. Hopefully you can get the offer to show up by using different browsers and private windows.
