As long as you spend at least $500 on groceries per month (excl: Walmart), then BCP gives you better bang for the buck: $360 Cashback - $95 AF = $265 total. BCE only gives $ 180 cash back without AF for the same.
I spend more than $6k per year on groceries (at grocery stores) so the $6k limit is the biggest drawback to the Blue Cash Preferred. I really wish they would bump that up so I don't have to think about it
Hello Adam, I think you forgot one thing during your video, if you already have the hulu, disney plus subscription $13.99 a month or over with the blue cash preferred you will be getting a $7 statement credit every month which comes to $84 a year on a $95 a year annual fee card. Plus you still get 6% on that subscription which more than covers the annual fee and that is not even including grocery spend. To me with that new benefit the blue cash preferred beats the blue everyday everytime. Thank Adam love your videos.
Great breakdown and overview of the two cards. I am a bit more of a fan of the Blue Cash Everyday due to that 3% online they have recently added. I have been debating on applying for a new card to do this but now I dont have to since it was recently added. Thanks for the vid!
I got the Blue cash Preferred card because I spend between $3400 and $3600 per year for groceries. Plus I also wanted the $350 bonus and no interest for a year. Between the grocery back, the bonus, the gas cash back and the no interest for a year, I figured hey why not ?
Lol. I have The BCE, BCP, Magnet and BBC. All the cash back Amex’s =) I hope they give the BCP a refresh in perks and rewards. But leave the look along. I love the design. Lol
Great comparison of two very good cards from AmEx. The BCP was great for a couple of years for me, but thanks to you I figured out a way to get 5% on gas, 5% on groceries, 5% online (granted it's only on Amazon, but I don't do much else online), and 2% everywhere else, without an annual fee and come out ahead, so I cancelled my BCP and moved on. Love your channel, and thanks for all you do.
I don't think AMEX will ever offer 6% back for online purchases using the BCP but hopefully they'll wise up and offer at least 3.5-5% down the road. Fingers crossed.
Yeah, I got the blue cash every day last year. And about 20 minutes ago got an offer to upgrade to the blue cash preferred with $150 statement credit after you spend the required amount in six months and they waived the $95 annual fee for the first year so I’m gonna enjoy the 6% for a whole year and then at the end of next year if I don’t want to pay the 95 annual fee if it doesn’t fit into my lifestyle I’ll just downgrade back to the blue cash every day so I couldn’t get the 350 offer i think it’s 200 right now the offer is if you just apply for it out right but my target offer I couldn’t pass up because I’m not a type of person to just apply for cards and add more accounts to my credit file so it is good to just have patience’s and upgrade offers will come your way to
I had a hard time choosing between BCP and Amex Gold. I love both cash back and MR points. My spending habits were the deciding factor and i chose BCP. My BCP is for groceries, gas and streaming at over 10k/yr combined. This is one best everyday carry cards for theses categories. I'm adding BCE for online purchases. In addition, it allows more spend (if I'm over cap) in same categories and costs me nothing. For those who spend 10k/yr on groceries and travel frequently the Amex gold is ideal.
Same dilemma for me. I went with the gold. Didn't feel like tracking the $6,000 cap, but I know I won't hit the $25,000 cap on the gold. I'll be adding the BCE strictly for online shopping to.
I got the BCE just before they revamped it to be my default grocery card when groceries are not a 5% category elsewhere. Now that they have the online shopping category, it is going to be my default online card outside of Amazon. I am a big fan of American Express's customer service.
I think these cards can definitely compliment each other very well. Most people out there likely spend over $60 a week on groceries, especially with these prices right now, so spending $3200 wouldn’t be too difficult. But then you can compliment the preferred with the everyday when it comes to the online retail purchases which is a pretty solid 2 card setup. Great video Adam!
If the online retail purchases are the only reason you want the card you'd be better off getting store specific cards like the Amazon Store Card. Then there's the PayPal Cashback card which gives 2% back on everything, plus an extra 1% when you buy stuff through PayPal (essentially 3% back on online purchases). If you don't like PayPal though, the Everyday would still be a good option
@@manleteater1970 I agree with you! This card isn’t necessarily for me, and if I was going to get a card for retail purchases it would be the Amazon prime card. I think this one is great for those trying to fill in gaps that their other cards don’t cover though!
I personally think they should add some more to the Blue Cash Preferred. Moreso as a cherry on top since the Everyday is now a pretty decent alternative which doesn't have an annual fee. Maybe increase the gas category to 6% too
I keep getting offers to 'upgrade' to the BCP from the BCE. I don't really see it as an upgrade. Sure, the extra % on groceries is fun, but the other categories are obscure things that I don't think many people use in numbers. I may get the BCP down the road, but it would be on it's own merits, not to replace my BCE.
I like the blue cash everyday because I can get 3% back on internet purchases the blue cash preferred turns internet shopping in to 1% my wife is crazy with Amazon shopping I get the Disney bundle too plus no annual fee. I use my Citi custom cash card on groceries and get 5% I don’t usually spend over 500 a month in groceries so that’s my play.
BCE makes more sense imo due to the no annual fee. Hopefully the BCP can get a few upgrades in the current rewards categories to make it truly worthwhile.
Interesting story. Ive had the BCP for a few years now. I have great credit, never a late payment and utilization never going over 4%. I saw the BCE and wanted to get it. I was approved but.... they took half of my spending limit on the BCP and made that the spending limit of the BCE. I hope I don't get a ding on my credit for having my spending limit on my BCP being reduced.
YESSSS! This is THE video I’ve been looking for someone to do in a thorough manner. THANKS ADAM! I have the BCP but want the BCE for the 3% online U.S. retail purchases. 😁
Bank of America's Customized Cash Rewards also has 3% on online shopping as one of it's categories, so it's not that unique (but it has only 2% on groceries so the BCE is probably better for most folks).
BOA won’t give me a card even tho I’ve been with them for 17 years with no issue. Happily leaving them soon. Amex gave me the BCE without batting an eye and I’ve been with them less than a year.
@@Katrina-Winter strange, did you ask why? They gave us our first ever US credit card, being new in the country without an existing credit history, and we have been happy ever since.
The Blue Cash Preferred gives 6% back at Meijer, so I'm surprised Walmart does not. I get 6% back on all of my purchases at Meijer, food, medicine, home items, electronics, etc., including the Keurig I recently purchased.
It actually depends on how much you spend on the online retailers and groceries. The preferred would still net you much more cash back provided you spend enough on groceries.
I just upgraded my Cash Magnet to the Blue Cash Everyday. I can use the BCE or the regular MR no annual fee EveryDay and between both will have a $12,000 cap on groceries both at no annual fee. If I need more, then I would switch my Green card to Gold at a $25,000 grocery cap and it would be $37,000 which is more than plenty between Gold, the BCE and the no fee EveryDay even though one is statement cash back and the other 2 are MR points earning cards. The $6000 year on gas is good on the BCE. The only reasons I would get Preferred is for the transit and streaming. Transit I get on the Green card at 3x points per dollar. I don't need the streaming perk right now. Honestly I wish they would get rid of that streaming perk and switch it to something else like restaurants or something else on the BCP.
I use BCP for my Apple services get 6% on everything purchases as my default credit card for apple services; it codes 6%. The reason I closed my Apple Card
Great comparison of the everyday and preferred cards and appreciate the analysis showing the spending amount that would make both cards even in cash back rewards.
I went incognito when I applied for the BCP and was offered a $400 sign up bonus! Also got approved for the temp card # and temp limit that I could use immediately...pretty exciting! Card finally came last week so I've been editing payment methods for my subscriptions...any idea whether an annual prime membership counts? I saw prime video in the list but not sure if that's considered the same thing since prime video comes with a prime membership.
The Preferred should have just earned 6% on the same 3 categories as on the Everyday. Would also be nice if the $6,000 yearly limit was flipped over to $9,000 on both cards, or at least just the Preferred.
There's also a no fee Citi card that gets 5% groceries up to $500 a month, so if planned appropriately, you could nearly max out both grocery credits with minimal wasted opportunity
Citi Custom Cash can give 5% cash back on groceries with no annual fee, so I am downgrading my BCP to BCE. It's hard to justify the cost now. All the grocery cards are seriously nerfed by not allowing Walmart.
I got the BCP because of the $400 sign up bonus for $3000 spend in 6 months. I like it for groceries. RUclips and Spotify are just barely above "whatever".
@sungjeh No thanks, I have both cards. I don't want to lose 6% back on streaming services. No other card comes close to that. The Amazon Prime Visa at 5% back takes care most online purchases for me. Plus there are other cards you can get.
RUclips TV plus NFL Sunday Ticket at 6% back is a huge plus for me. Add in 6% back on all the other streaming services in addition to the 6% back on groceries and 3% back on mean I am not giving up my BCP.
@@ItssToxiccc It is same for most of their cards. There may be a few exception at Amex’s discretion, but that’s all. Best is to call them for this and the agent will tell you for sure if the pull will be hard.
In my American Express app, I am being offered an upgrade from my cash magnet to the blue cash preferred but it is only offering me $150 statement credit. I’ll look around for the $400 bonus but I do want this card Job well done Adam!💗
I appreciate what you do. I have the Everyday Blue and don't see enough value to commit to an ongoing commitment to an annual fee. It is complicated to navigate. I also have the Chase Freedom Unlimited, Prime Visa, Paypal MC, Sam's MC, Citi Double Cash, Crypto Green, and others. It's hard to chose which to use. You did mention that the Blue Preferred offered a discount on RUclipsTV, does Everyday Blue, if you know? You also did mention WalMart which I do shop at vs the traditional high priced supermarkets. Walmart's MC offers 3% WM Online, 2% Murphy Gas, 1% WM Market. Wondering if Chase Freedom's 1.5% beats WM MC's 1%. I know this is getting down to pennies but, that is an element of what you do.
Do they offer downgrade and upgrade offers to ppl that have both the BCP and BCE? My BCE was originally a Cash Magnet that I PC’d because I got the WF Active Cash.
Is groceries and online shopping for blue cash everyday, is it separate up to $6000 capped or $6000 together for the year. I do more online shopping purchases instead of in store.
For the Blue Cash Everyday, do you get 1% cash back on everything else unrelated to the categories? Or do you only get cash back in those specific categories?
Dont get it. Just a waste of time. I had that card and others by Synchrony, all in good standing and what did they do, they closed all of my accts with them. Dont do any business with Synchrony.
Hey hi Adam, i might be wrong, but in the section where you compare the value for the supermarket cash back, 6% of 3,200 is not 97… let me know if I’m missing something, I am might be wrong.
6% of 3200 is $192, but if you subtract $95 annual fee, that is the $97. Was showing what you get if you factor in the annual fee, though that is oversimplified because the card offers other rewards as well.

I think it should be noted that although you can't use it at a "Traditional" Walmart. You CAN get the 6% back at a Walmart Neighborhood Market
Are you for real??
Those are located in some states not all
Yes. I literally just tried this earlier in the month and got 6% back at my Neighborhood Wal-Mart!
That’s what I’m trying to find out if Walmart is one of the groceries stores included.
That’s why I got the bcp bc neighborhood Walmart is what’s closest to me and is where I do my groceries.
As long as you spend at least $500 on groceries per month (excl: Walmart), then BCP gives you better bang for the buck: $360 Cashback - $95 AF = $265 total. BCE only gives $ 180 cash back without AF for the same.

For the Blue Cash Everyday, do you get 1% cash back on everything else unrelated to the categories? Or do you only get cash back in those specific categories?
1% on everything else.
WF AUTOGRAPH VS AMEX Every Day ?
AUTOGRAPH!
@@aadeorukhkar CORRECT !
As someone with the BCE, BCP and Savor One. The Autograph doesn't really offer any benefit.
Synchrony Bank just introduced a 2% credit card.
Dont get it. Just a waste of time. I had that card and others by Synchrony, all in good standing and what did they do, they closed all of my accts with them. Dont do any business with Synchrony.
@@ImStillStealingSteel Already using WF active cash
@@mayankk2800 - Good :) Same.
could you do the video on the 2.2 flat cash back card? It's not Amex btw
if I downgrade BCP to BCE, so I will lose the sign-up bonus of BCE?
I wanna know the opposite
Probably
Hey hi Adam, i might be wrong, but in the section where you compare the value for the supermarket cash back, 6% of 3,200 is not 97… let me know if I’m missing something, I am might be wrong.
6% of 3200 is $192, but if you subtract $95 annual fee, that is the $97. Was showing what you get if you factor in the annual fee, though that is oversimplified because the card offers other rewards as well.
@@ProudMoney Hu! That’s what I missed! Of course, it makes sense. Thank you Adam! 👌🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
What do you think about having to spend the rewards back on the paying the statement?
I think it's all the same cause ur going to have to pay the bill anyway, right?
That should be a non issue cause you have to pay your bill and make no sense pocketing it
