I honestly don't understand why anyone in the world would get a BCE over a BCP?
Even with the nerfs to both cards to $6,000 in groceries if you do the math.. $75 annual fee on the BCP is taken care of if you spend $25 a week JUST in groceries.
Now if you spend $50 a week in groceries you'll have the same amount of savings from BCE.
It's also safe to say if your buying gas and shopping at department stores the higher tiers on the BCP should save you even more money. I understand that people sockdrawer cards, but BCP being best card in the market for groceries, this should be one of the last sockdrawered card, and if you were going to sock drawer it, you could always product change it to another card or change it to a BCE.

2 words. Annual fee. While what you state is true even on paper but most people see the words annual fee and run!
still I want to bang my head against the wall when people don't do the math =\
Like my friend's gf was buying protein and I read the label. $29 EAS Protein 240 calories 20grams of protein per serving. 20 servings per bag. Sounds fine, but another one was $35 Muscle Tech protein 70 servings per bag 20 grams of protein 120 calories. (which tastes a lot better imo)
So she wanted a lower calorie protein with more servings, I hate how people don't read sometimes, maybe I'm a bit weird but if you look at supermarkets I count everything =p sometimes buying smaller saves money over buying bulk (don't understand it but works sometimes)
But yea personally I hate annual fees, but 2 cards I don't worry about annual fees is BCP and Chase Sapphire. BCP cause I get all the benefits and Chase Sapphire for added purchase protection even better than Amex imo, and a 0% foreign transaction fee, and a gateway for my ultimate reward points from Freedom for 25% bonus. etc
