Is cell phone considered a utility? To me, it would be, but not sure how they view it.

Yes, my sprint bill gets me 2% back when I pay it with my barclay rewards.

Verizon and AT&T also count as utility humu. I can vouch for that.

The double cash back may work better with 2% cash back for any catagory.

As far as cell phones go, most Wells Fargo cards offer the insurance benefit. Using that may negate any cash back from another card if you're paying extra for insurance.
