Families with big grocery bills can save hundreds of dollars by paying for them with a credit card that offers elevated rewards at the supermarket. According to federal consumer expenditure data, the average U.S. household spent $5,703 on "food at home" in 2022. Paying for groceries with a card that earned just 2% rewards on groceries would have earned such a household more than $114. Imagine getting those kinds of rewards back from just your groceries! You can do it with these cards. And in some cases, rewards rates apply to grocery delivery, too.

The American Express® Gold Card earns 4 Membership Rewards points per dollar spent at U.S. supermarkets, on up to $25,000 per year in purchases. Tired of cooking? You also earn 4X points at restaurants, with no annual cap. Terms apply. Rewards on $5,000 a year in U.S. supermarket spending: $200 (assuming redemption value of 1 cent per point).
