Amex Blue stopped the confusing no annual fee, tiered rewards program a few months ago. So unless you got grandfathered in, it's all tier free now.
Blue Cash Preferred
$75 annual fee
6% cash back at grocery stores
3% cash back at gas stations + department stores
1% cash back on all other purchases
Blue Cash Everyday
No annual fee
3% cash back at grocery stores
2% cash back at gas stations + department stores
1% cash back on all other purchases
PLUS, as with all AMEX cards you get the free roadside assisantce (lmiited but hey it's free) and extended warranties (which I used and posted about to fix my iMac)
It's pretty simple. Don't be overly paranoid and overthink it. It's a no brainer.
