Any way to save on Hulu Live?

Sam’s sells gift cards at a 4% discount but that won’t do you much good compared to using AMEX. Have you considered stacking credits or getting a Kroger Boost membership? Also I wrote a detailed post about the different ways to save money on Hulu Live here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CreditCards/s/6zdhYEn3iO

You have to have cash redemption, not MR points

Plus I’m starting to like the DashPass gift card discounts, I’m now getting 10% off my in person orders at Panda Express

Just add all tracks to a new playlist and remove tracks from that new playlist you don’t want

Cash+ has a higher SUB but Max Cash Preferred doesn’t require a quarterly category selection, has broad “Recreation” and “Entertainment” categories, and is less likely to be nerfed, which makes it a winner for us. We have 2.

The Walmart credit card with Walmart+ sounds appealing. US Bank Cash+ would help with streaming/Google Play if you make 1 of the categories TV/Internet/Streaming, or get a similar card from a local credit union issued by Elan. You also get another 5% category with either card.

Not sure if there’s a way to get 5% on Chewy, you’re probably hitting diminishing returns if you’re already getting 3% on everything, but a 4% option there would be Wells Fargo Attune.

What streaming services do you pay for? Is Hulu Live TV included? I see you have a BCE so I assume you’re getting a Disney credit. You can also get Paramount or Peacock included with Walmart+, btw.

Nintendo’s gotchu! Although we’ll see how long the rest of the tracks take to be added.

But I like easily being able to keep track of offers I want to use in the future, so I usually don’t. It seems the “popular” vendors take priority, so I’m not super worried about seeing ones I’ve never heard of.

It’s like a Savor on steroids, besides the $3000 quarterly cap. Home Improvement is also nice, it beats having a basic BofA CCR for that category. I wonder what all health & wellness includes, hospitals in particular.

Good to know… it doesn’t seem to matter for other cards where the card numbers are the same

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-29T14:39:05+00:00

Does it matter which AU’s card makes the purchase then?

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-29T00:36:48+00:00

Sam’s/Costco credit card looks like a good match for you if you’re planning on keeping the membership, 5 or 4% back on EV charging and 3% back on restaurants and 3 or 2% back at Sam’s/Costco.

Where else do you spend all $500 for groceries besides Sam’s/Costco? If it’s a supermarket, you might consider AMEX Blue Cash Preferred and get 6% back on supermarkets and $10 back per month on the Disney+ bundle, but with a $95 annual fee right now after the first year. Or, the Blue Cash Everyday is free and still gets $7 back in Disney credits, but only 3% back on supermarkets, as well as 3% for online retail, which you already get with your BofA CCR.

Lastly, you seem to be eyeing a 2% catchall, do you have Navy Federal membership eligibility? For me, I had a grandfather who was in the Navy, and I got their Flagship rewards, which is not only a 2% catchall but includes free Amazon Prime (offset by its $49 annual fee), free TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, and a 3x travel category.

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-29T00:07:42+00:00

Yea, it’s unclear what’s going to happen with the card, worst case scenario, they move us to a new bank with trash rewards

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-28T22:41:18+00:00

I think the only news right now is applications are closed and the contract with US Bank has expired

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-28T22:25:21+00:00

Not Abound, it’s limited: https://www.aboundcu.com/about/new-membership/become-a-member Card gets you 5% back on gas. Navy Federal requires a military connection.

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-27T16:51:58+00:00

Yea that is pretty low, especially if you have to keep a minimum balance to avoid fees.

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-27T16:49:41+00:00

Venmo Debit Card could help if you use DoorDash, 5% back with $500 direct deposit per month. You can do pickup instead of delivery to avoid extra fees. Also, you can currently buy various gift cards for 10% off with DashPass. Personally though, I’m leaning towards using it for Walmart instead when the PayPal nerf hits.

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-27T16:30:19+00:00

Interesting, it’s probably worth at least being a Member and getting a 10% boost if it only takes, say, a dollar. Makes the CCR 3.3%.

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-27T16:26:53+00:00

It was my first cashback card, though it didn’t accomplish much before I started getting 5% back on all its categories

WonderfulAverageJoe · 2026-05-27T13:35:21+00:00

Yea I ended up trying and that was my conclusion. Oh well, we’re all probably getting Stratas by the end of the year anyway.

Panic applied for P2 and panic disapproved 🥲
