Not only will you continue to earn 3% cash-back on up to $6,000 on eligible purchases at U.S. supermarkets each year, but the cash-back rate at U.S. gas stations is being increased to 3% (on up to $6,000 in eligible purchases).

Further, cardholders are getting a whole new bonus category of 3% back on U.S. online retail purchases. That’s right, you’ll be able to get 3% back on the first $6,000 of eligible purchases on U.S. online purchases you make throughout the year.

It is also worth pointing out that the $6,000 caps are per category, not combined.

Final Thoughts

While cash-back cards aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, there is no denying that this refresh of the Amex Blue Cash Everyday Card is demonstrably better than the old version and is sure to provide significantly more value to cardholders.

From 3 separate 3% cash-back categories to strong statement credits, and no more minimum redemption amounts required, the new Amex Blue Cash Everyday Card is now an extremely attractive cash-back card worthy of consideration.
