Verdict
Our Pick: Blue Cash Preferred from American Express
Both cards tie at 4.5/5, but At $95/yr, the value proposition is strong. The Blue Cash Preferred is the king of grocery rewards. 6% back at U.S. supermarkets plus 6% on streaming makes it the best card for families who spend heavily on groceries. The $95 fee pays for itself quickly if you spend $2,000+ per year on groceries.
