It ' s not even Friday . <| sep |> I use the Amex Blue Cash for my everyday purchases . For some reason I seem to rack up reward points faster compared to Discover It and Chase Freedom Unlimited . My only gripe with Amex is that you can only redeem rewards as statement credit I don ' t know why this bothers me because I would end up paying for the statement anyways ? ? But other than that , I enjoy their Shop Small rewards . I live in a very small town so I get 2 x points on most purchases . You don ' t get rewards for Target and Walmart because they ' re considered a warehouse , but pretty much any other store labeled as a grocery store will count . I was a little bummed because the gas station I go to is considered a convenience store and not a gas station so I don ' t get rewards for that , but it ' s not worth it to go out of my way just to earn those rewards . Oh well . I can ' t say anything for Amazon rewards I have the Chase Amazon Rewards card for that . I would say contact customer service and compare the stores you frequently shop at to what the rewards would equal . But overall I ' ve enjoyed using Amex and will probably continue to use them for a long time . It just depends on when you shop because if it ' s only for 1 x rewards on most of your purchases , then you better off sticking with what you already have .
