Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express offers $150 statement credit after spending $1,000 within the first 3 months of Cardmembership. Cardholders earn 6% cash back at U.S. supermarkets(up to $6,000), 3% cash back at U.S. gas stations and select U.S. department stores, and 1% cash back on all other eligible purchases. However, the Blue Cash Preferred comes with a $75 annual fee. With the 6% reward rate on qualifying groceries, a family really only needs to spend $25 a week on groceries to make up for the annual fee. It offers a 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months. After that, your APR will be a variable rate, currently 13.24%-22.24%, based on credit worthiness and other factors. Unlike the Chase Freedom or Discover More, there is no rotating reward categories and no enrollment required. Apply Now---Amex Blue Cash Preferred Review

Buy Gift Cards with Store Gift Card
Did you know that certain stores let you buy third party gift cards with their own gift card? You can buy discounted gift cards off a gift card exchange site, and then go to that retailer’s brick & mortar to buy Visa, American Express, or Amazon gift cards. Example Given: Buy Toys R Us discounted gift card online from CardCash, then go Toys R Us to buy Amazon GC. Below is the most updated list of confirmed success stories of using store’s gift card to buy another retailer’s gift card. However, due to certain store’s policy or cashier not knowing, your mileage may vary(YMMV).
I suggest go to CardCash, or Raise, or Cardpool to find the best saving rate on Gamestop, Toys “R” Us, Kroger, and Sears. Then use those gift cards to buy the hard to find discounted gift cards such as Amazon, gas stations, eBay, Visa & Amex, etc.
