  • With no annual fee,1 the Blue Cash Everyday Card can help you can make the most out of everyday spending.

Life is busy. There are grocery lists to make, meals to prep, gas tanks to fill, and plenty of other essentials to attend to at any given moment. To make daily life a bit easier, the Blue Cash Everyday Card offers benefits that can help you get more out of spending on essentials like groceries, gas, and online retail – not to mention access to select entertainment subscription credits and home meal credits – all with no annual fee.1

 

Here's a look at the Blue Cash Everyday Card’s benefits and how they aim to help you save on life’s necessities – so you can put more into the little moments that make life special. Terms apply to all benefits listed below. All offers and benefits are subject to change.

Earn Cash Back for Everyday Essentials

Cash back is earned in the form of Reward Dollars, which accumulate until you decide to redeem some – or all of them – for a statement credit, with no redemption minimum. The Blue Cash Everyday Card has you covered when it comes to household staples and everyday essentials. Get rewarded for eligible purchases on necessities like groceries, gas, and online retail purchases without worrying about using different cards for each spending category, or keeping track of the rotating bonus categories some cards employ.

 

Unlock supermarket savings. Go ahead, make that weekly grocery list and earn 3% back at U.S. supermarkets, on up to $6,000 in eligible purchases a year (1% back thereafter).

 

Get rewarded for online retail purchases. Whether shopping at your favorite boutique online shop or an online retailer that has it all, you’ll earn 3% cash back at U.S. online retailers, on up to $6,000 in eligible purchases a year (1% thereafter). 

 

Earn cash back at the gas station. Earn 3% back every time you fill up your tank or make other eligible purchases at U.S. gas stations, on up to $6,000 in purchases a year (1% back thereafter). 

 

Card Members will also get 1% cash back on all other eligible purchases.

Unlock Streaming and Meal-Kit Credits

On top of earning cash back from eligible everyday purchases, Blue Cash Everyday Card Members can get over $250 annually in credits thanks to benefits like The Disney Bundle Credit2 and the Home Chef Credit.2

 

$84 Disney Bundle Credit: Stream movies, shows, sports, and more, at home or on the go with The Disney Bundle, which includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ – and has something for everyone. Card Members can get a $7 monthly statement credit (up to $84 back annually) after using your enrolled Blue Cash Everyday Card to spend $9.99 or more each month on a subscription (subject to auto-renewal) to The Disney Bundle. Valid only at DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com, or Plus.espn.com, in the U.S.2

 

$180 Home Chef Credit: Too tired after a busy day to meal plan? Save time without sacrificing a balanced, home-cooked meal with the $180 Home Chef Credit. Get up to $15 in statement credits monthly for online purchases made with meal kit delivery service, Home Chef, on your Blue Cash Everyday Card (up to $180 in statement credits annually). Enrollment required. Shipping available in the contiguous U.S. only. Subscription subject to auto-renewal.2

 

Home Chef is a meal kit delivery service that delivers fresh, pre-portioned ingredients, and easy-to-follow recipes right to your door. You can choose from over 25 weekly options and customize proteins to your liking.

Blue Cash Everyday Membership Provides Benefits That Can Help Protect You

Another benefit of the Blue Cash Everyday Card: You can shop more and worry less about Covered Purchases with Purchase Protection3.

 

Sometimes your favorite new purchase gets stolen or accidentally damaged. But when you use your Eligible Card for Covered Purchases, your Membership can help protect them for up to 90 days from the Covered Purchase date, subject to the Coverage Limits (up to $1,000 per occurrence, $50,000 per calendar year).

The Takeaway

Life has a lot to offer. While you have to pay for the essentials that move life forward and keep your household running smoothly, the Blue Cash Everyday Card makes it easy to earn cash back rewards for these necessities. From cash back on purchases at eligible supermarkets, gas stations, and online retailers, to statement credits for The Disney Bundle2 and Home Chef2 meal kits, Blue Cash Everyday can help make life more rewarding – all with no annual fee.1
