About this card
The Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express is a solid card that's best for everyday use. It has a good rewards structure, no annual fee and a decent sign up bonus, meriting an overall rating of 3.7. This card's strengths are the cash back rewards on everyday spending (groceries, gas and online retail), and the fact that there is no annual fee. The intro APR offer on purchases and balance transfers is also a plus. Its main weakness is the high regular APR and the spending caps on the bonus categories. Because the card is from American Express, users can be assured of a generally high level of customer service.
