If you’re always streaming Disney+ or Hulu, the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express just became an even better option for you.
American Express announced Friday that Blue Cash Preferred’s statement credit toward Disney Bundle purchases is increasing to $120 annually (up to $10 each month; enrollment is required; terms apply).
This is up $36 from the card’s previous $84 annual credit on Disney Bundle purchases.
The Amex Blue Cash Preferred maintains its $0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then a $95 annual fee after that (see rates and fees).
With the increased Disney credit, the Blue Cash Preferred’s annual fee is effectively outweighed by $25.

What about the Disney Bundle credit on the Amex Blue Cash Everyday?
While the Disney Bundle on the Amex Blue Cash Preferred is higher, the no-annual-fee Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express (see rates and fees) will maintain an $84 annual statement credit toward the bundle.
However, since the Blue Cash Everyday is maintaining its $0 annual fee, you’ll still receive solid value from the steady $84 annual credit, split into up to $7 each month. Enrollment required, terms apply.
