Starting today (8/1/225), American Express announced a significant enhancement on their Blue Cash Everyday card and Blue Cash Preferred card. Previously the benefit on both cards was the same at $7 each month when you spend at least $9.99. The new benefit is as follows:
- Blue Cash Preferred: $10 credit each calendar month with no minimum spend.
- Blue Cash Everyday: $7 credit each calendar month with no minimum spend.
The statement credit is now for payment of a streaming subscription or a bundle subscription on DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com, or Plus.espn.com using your enrolled Card. (Previously it was only for bundle subscriptions.)
This is a real freebie now for subscriptions or trial subscriptions of $7/$10 or less given that there’s no longer any minimum spend requirement. Hulu ad-supported costs $9.99 per month and Disney+ ad-supported costs $9.99 per month.
I’m not sure if you can get multiple small charges reimbursed, e.g. if you sign up for a trial $1.99 Hulu offer and then later in the month subscribe to Disney+, I’m not sure if you would get a second $8.01 credit during the same month.
On the Blue Cash Preferred card, the statement credit benefit is in addition to the 6% rate which the Blue Cash Preferred card earns on most streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Music, Hulu, ESPN, Disney, Starz, etc.
I watch my shows on laptop and uBlock Origin blocks ads on Hulu (I dont know about Disney+)
still takes up a spot on amex
dude. wtf. wat about the EDP? but i guess its discontinued so its a dead card. was really hoping for a refresh.
I buy my Hulu+Disney bundle during thanksgiving discount and get the entire cost reimbursed by Citigold Subscription rebate thingy.
yay right on time for Bundesliga start.. but good god, ESPN+ costs $12/month these days..
Cool, we pay for ads now.
Any way to split payment or somehow take advantage of this if you already have Hulu bundle via Plat?
If you need HBO and ESPN+, one way of doing it is doing the D+,Hulu, HBO bundle on Plat and ESPN+ separately on BCE or BCP. You need to subscribe separately through ESPN+ rather than trying to do an add on through your Hulu account. You can still use the same Hulu/D+ login as before even if processing the ESPN sub separately through ESPN.
Credit card category?
If I subscribe to Disney + don’t I automatically get espn and hulu as well?
Like why would someone subscribe to hulu for $10 when they van get it thru Disney plus for $8?
The real question is since Disney purchased Hulu outright why they maintain both, especially since almost all of Hulu has been rolled into Disney+
Not all of Hulu. Hulu has something called “hubs”, where they show content from FX, Hotstar and few others. I don’t know about others, but I haven’t seen those hotstar content on D+.
I was about to cancel or downgrade my BCP, but I guess I’ll keep for the extra 36 dollars.
