Best Credit Cards for Streaming Services (2026)

By Bryce Casson, Founder · Cardocrat · Updated June 2026

The short answer: Streaming is a small but steady monthly bill, so a card with a streaming bonus quietly adds up. the American Express® Blue Cash Preferred leads our streaming ranking.

Streaming subscriptions are recurring charges that hit every month, which makes them a natural fit for a bonus category. The best cards earn 3x to 6x on select streaming services, and a few pair that with a monthly streaming or entertainment credit.

Card networks define streaming differently, so the list of qualifying services varies, but the major ones (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Spotify, Max) usually count. We rank by the streaming earn rate at a flat 1 cent per point.

Frequently asked questions

Which streaming services earn the bonus rate?

It varies by card. Most issuers publish a list of qualifying services, and the big ones (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Spotify, Max, YouTube TV) typically count. Smaller or bundled services sometimes do not, so check your card terms.

Is a streaming bonus worth chasing?

On its own, no. Streaming is a small spend, so the bonus is a nice extra rather than a reason to get a card. It matters most when a card you already want happens to include it, sometimes with a monthly streaming credit on top.

Do any cards give a streaming credit instead of points?

Yes. Some cards offer a monthly statement credit toward a streaming service, which can be worth more than the earn rate if you would pay for that service anyway.
