Verdict
Our Pick: Blue Cash Everyday from American Express
Both cards tie at 4.3/5, but No annual fee makes it easy to justify. The Blue Cash Everyday is the no-fee sibling of the Blue Cash Preferred. 3% at supermarkets, gas, and online retail makes it a solid everyday card for people who don't want to pay an annual fee.
