How the AMEX BLUE CASH Card determines its cash back rebate rate of 5%? How much we have to spend to get 1%, 2% to 5%? I cannot find any info on that.
Your annual cash reward for everyday purchases at stand-alone U.S. supermarkets, gas stations, drugstores, and home improvement stores is up to 3%. Stand-alone locations do not include the departments of superstores or warehouse clubs where the standard rebate of up to 1.5% applies. Your annual cash reward for all other purchases is up to 1.5%. You will receive an additional rebate of up to 2% in months in which your account carries a balance. Your cash rewards are limited to $50,000 of annual eligible spending. Balance transfers, purchases of American Express® Travelers Cheques or American Express® Gift Cheques and Cash Advances do not earn a cash back reward.
If i am not mistaken, mostly all my "any purchase" will fall into the 1.5% category. So it is not near 5% if i don't buy at the merchant shop, site or their partner shops. Thank for the info GEAORGE Goeast
