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.
