With the EveryDay Preferred, you'd start with 18,000
points for groceries, which would
turn into 27,000
points with the 50
percent bonus.
Its flat 1.5
percent rewards rate is lower than the Citi DoubleCash card's 2
percent rate, but Sapphire Reserve cardholders can push their Freedom cash into Ultimate Rewards
points to get 50
percent in
bonus value when booking travel, effectively
turning their cash - back rate into 2.25
percent.
