Groceries, meal planning, restaurants, takeout and delivery, coffee, hosting, and food assistance. Eat well and spend less doing it.
Get the American Express® Gold Card if you spend heavily at restaurants and U.S. supermarkets, will use most of its $424 in yearly credits, and will book flights with the points. Redeemed for statement credits, its 4 points per dollar are worth 2.4 cents, less than the 3 cents a no-fee card can pay on dining and groceries.
Get the Instacart Mastercard® if your household orders groceries through Instacart every week. It pays 5% back on your first $6,000 of qualifying Instacart orders a year, worth up to $300, with no annual fee. If you buy groceries in the store, skip it, since it pays only 1% there.
Get the U.S. Bank Altitude® Go Visa Signature® Card if you eat out or order takeout often and want a card with no annual fee. It pays 4 points per dollar on your first $2,000 of dining each quarter. Use a different card abroad, since this one adds a 3% fee to foreign transactions.
Get the Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card if groceries, dining, entertainment, and streaming are a big share of your spending. It pays 3% cash back on all four with no cap and charges no annual fee. If your spending is spread across other things, choose a card that pays one flat rate on everything instead.

If your grocery store’s free app carries digital coupons, they come off at the register only if they’re loaded to your account before checkout. Spend five minutes before each trip clipping every offer on your list, add any rebates a cash back app offers, and pay with a card that earns extra at that store.
