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 Streaming 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 Streaming 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.
