The Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express increased its sign up bonus recently by now offering Amazon Prime for one year to new card members who meet the minimum spending requirement of $1,000 in the first three months.

The year of Amazon Prime is in addition to the normal benefits of the card:

• 6% Cash Back at US supermarkets up to $6,000 per year in purchases
• 3% Cash Back at US gas stations
• 3% Cash Back at select US dept stores
• 1% Cash Back on other purchases
• 100 Reward Dollars, redeemable for a $100 statement credit, after you make $1,000 in purchases with your new Card in the first three months

Amazon Prime is a $79-per-year service that has three major benefits:

1. Free two-day shipping from amazon.com on millions of items with no minimum order size.
2. Unlimited streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows with Prime Instant Video (a Netflix competitor)
3. The ability to borrow a Kindle book for free each month

If your family spends a lot at grocery stores and gas stations, this card offers incredible rewards. Cash–not frequent flyer miles–is often the most efficient way to book domestic economy flights for the whole family, so the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express is a really great family travel card.
