AmEx Tweaks Streaming Credit Benefits for Blue Cash Cards

Starting Aug. 1, 2025, American Express is changing the streaming benefits for the Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express and Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express.

Here's what to know:

Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express

Cardholders can now earn up to $120 in annual statement credits toward a single subscription or bundle for Disney+, Hulu or ESPN. Credits are doled out in $10 monthly installments. The previous streaming benefit was worth $84 in statement credits. The card will continue to earn an unlimited 6% cash back on eligible streaming services, a long list that includes Peacock, Netflix and Spotify. That rewards rate, combined with the streaming credits, can make the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express one of the best cards for those who have cut cable. Terms apply.

Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express

This card's streaming credit is staying put at $84 per year; however, American Express is eliminating the spending requirement to earn the credit. Before Aug. 1, 2025, cardholders had to spend at least $9.99 on an eligible subscription to receive the $7/monthly credit. Now, cardholders will receive a credit equal to the subscription amount, up to $7. For example, if you spent $1.99 on a Hulu student subscription in August, you’d receive a credit for $1.99. Terms apply.

Blue Cash Everyday and Preferred cardholders must enroll on American Express’s Benefit Dashboard to receive the streaming credits.
