My thoughts
If your family spends a lot on groceries, this card is a no-brainer, especially in year one when the annual fee is waived. Six percent cash back at U.S. supermarkets is the highest rate you'll find anywhere on grocery spending. If you spend $500/month on groceries, that's $360 back every year just from that one category alone. Add in 6% on streaming, 3% on gas and transit, and the Disney and Home Chef credits and the $95 annual fee after year one is very easy to justify.
How to use your points
Cash back on this card is simple, here's how to use it:
- Redeem Reward Dollars as a statement credit against any purchase on your account
- Redeem Reward Dollars at Amazon.com checkout
- No minimum redemption amount — use whenever you want
The best cash back card for families who spend heavily on groceries and streaming.
- 6% at U.S. supermarkets is the highest grocery cash back rate available on any card
- $0 intro annual fee in year one means you can earn the full welcome offer before paying anything
- The Disney and Home Chef credits add up to $300/year in potential value — nearly covering the annual fee on their own
