That's the problem with the original Blue Cash card. It has a hidden annual fee of at least $65/year in the form of reduced rewards on the first $6,500 spending.

Total Spend: $26.6k Total for 2015: $510.40
You are averaging under 2%. You would do better with the Citi Double Cash MasterCard, or Fidelity VISA both of which pay straight 2% on all spending, with no annual fee.
