No mainstream card matches 6% back at U.S. supermarkets, good on up to $6,000 a year before the rate drops to 1%. Maxing that cap returns $360, several times the $95 fee, and the fee is waived the first year anyway. Strong secondary categories on streaming, gas, and transit round it out, with a Disney streaming credit worth $120 a year on top. It's the default pick for households that do most of their shopping at traditional supermarkets.
