Nice find. Any sign up bonus? I am stuck with the united club card which is 1.5 miles but cash is king. I need the united card for some airline benefits but want to get out from the fee.

For me nothing beats the Amex clear blue card that gets us 5% on gas, groceries and drug stores. Adds up to about $1300 every year.

I always see the Capital One 1.5% on everything and really not impressed with that but this one is a very good offer but I still don't think as quite as good as the Amex clear blue.

For all my other spend I'm maxing out my Amex SPG to score as many MAR points as possible. 3rd card we use is Costco Visa that gets me 3% on restaurants and of course 2% on Costco.

I'm one of those guys that never has 2 nickels to rub together because I'm a point or credit rebate hound so I rarely spend a nickel without getting a point or a credit of some kind.

I hope you have a few coins in your pocket or the car cubby for the occasional unavoidable parking meter.

Do you mean AMEX Blue Preferred Card? If so, it's 6% on groceries (up to $6k spent), 3% on gas, and 1% on other things.

If it is NOT that---I'd like to know exactly which AMEX card you have (I googled it, but couldn't find it.)

We love our 6% on groceries.

My wife drives about 500 miles/week, so 5% on gas (vs. 3%) would be nice, if it's available.

Not available anymore. They keep trying to get us to go to that card with a nice incentive but it's not worth it. I'm hoping they can't just end the program and force us on the 6% card.

I thought I'd share that Chase Sapphire Reserve codes TUG Membership Fees as Travel.
So for $30, you get 90 points, which is worth $1.35 on Ult/Rewards. <Yeah!>
