I'm pretty sure Citi is dumping all their 5% cards, both MC and Amex. At least you can't currently
apply for the Amex version online.
Also note that many grocery stores and gas stations don't accept Amex. If the ones you frequent do accept Amex, however, Amex has its own 5% card:
Amex Blue Cash.
Note that this card requires you to spend $6500 BEFORE the 5% benefit kicks in. But they then give 5% on groceries/gas/drugstores and 1.5% on everything else until you get to $50k spending in a year, so it's a great choice for cash back if you spend enough.
