Groceries

Food Lion is a Southeastern U.S. grocery chain with about 1,100 stores, owned by Ahold Delhaize. Codes cleanly as groceries on every card we track. Strongest pairings are Blue Cash Preferred (6% on U.S. supermarkets), the Capital One SavorOne (3% groceries), and U.S. Bank Shopper Cash Rewards if Food Lion is one of the two selected retailers. The MVP loyalty program runs separate digital coupons that stack on top of any card's bonus rate.
