Best card for meal kit delivery?

Jojo567 · ‎01-18-2023

Use to be the blue cash but not anymore. Does Citi's Custom cash consider the groceries? Or another card? The service is cook unity.

What's Cook Unity's unfavorable new category with Amex?

If it's gone in the direction of dining, then Amex Gold may be worth a look. Or we can look at some sort of online shopping card.

Yup, it depends how it codes which I guess would be between CB cats: Grocery, Food delivery, or simply Online. If it's the first two, there are plenty of 5% no AF cards (e.g. citi Custom Cash). If it is 'Online' (most likely), how about BoA Custom Cash Rewards for 3% Online? This CB, of course, could be multiplied by 25, 50, or 75% if you are part of BoA's Preferred Rewards program.

Yeah I've been using BoA Custom Cash for 3% online towards Blue Apron for years.

I have not been able to find anything better, as it doesn't code for groceries for me on any card

However, a couple times a year Amex offers $25 for spending $50 at Blue Apron. I use that twice. Once on my acct once on wife's account. Then occasionally do the amex deals on other meal kits then return back to BoA rinse & repeat.

If anyone knows better, would love to hear it.

3% is probably the best you'll be able to do regularly for online orders. If they let you check out with PayPal, then maybe 1 - 2 quarters per year, you can get 5% with a rotating card.

I checked amazon, Target, and other places where maybe you could buy gift cards for 5% off. No dice for CookUnity or Blue Apron.

However, I did see that raise.com has only a few digital gift cards for 7 - 10% off right now. https://www.raise.com/buy-blue-apron-gift-cards I don't see anything for CookUnity. You guys can check discount gift card sellers like cardcash or raise from time to time.
