Fact checked

The main difference between the Citi® Double Cash Card and the Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express is the cashback rate. The Amex card beats the Citi card only on purchases at US supermarkets where it earns a slightly higher cashback rate. But it’s safe to say, this may be a negligible difference and only noticeable if you spend up to $6,000 annually at US supermarkets. Spend more than that and the difference shrinks.
