AMEX Blue Cash Everyday Card

I'm looking at getting this card.
I have an AMEX for business, but am looking to replace my debit card purchasing (which is how I pay for most everything currently) with a credit card.
I'm not looking to get travel points, pay an annual fee, or even feel the need for the 0% as I will pay off each month. I just want security purchasing and some cash back for everyday purchases.
Is this a good one?
Thanks

I think the preferred card is a much better deal if you get your groceries at a grocery store and not Walmart/target
I have 3 cards with annual fees and the benefits on all of them outweigh the fee
You can probably get the first annual fee waived and downgrade the card later if you really want
Eta: if you want a basic cash back card with no fee, I'd prefer the citi double cash over the BCE

If you plan on using it to do grocery spending, get the preferred. Buying >$2500/year in groceries makes the preferred more valuable than everyday ($5000 cap)
Keep in mind that you can buy gift cards at most grocery stores. For example, I buy my Amazon gift cards from Kroger and therefore get 6% back on all Amazon purchsaes (gas, airline, and more options)
Finally, if you have a store near you that offers fuel rewards, you can really maximize your return. Kroger offers 2x fuel points on gift cards. So I can buy a $50 shell GC w/ 6% rewards and get $0.10 off /gallon. Comes out to about ~10% caseback for every 1$ on gas

I had that card for 2 years then recently upgraded to the preferred ($75 yearly fee). It's great. Would highly recommend. Hard to beat 6% on groceries and 3% on gas.
ETA: 3% groceries and 2% gas for the free card you're referring to.
