"Category: Transportation - Fuel"

The gas station at Kroger reports as "AUTOMATED FUEL Category: Transportation - Fuel".  

 

Does that qualify for BCE 2% CB on Gas?  This will seem like a really dumb question if the answer is "yes".. but less dumb if it's "no".  Smiley Happy

The real question should be "will the reporting from Kroger qualify as 3% since they are a grocery chain?" Tbh, no question is dumb but if they are reporting as such then you should get the 2%.  I'm sure others will chime in...


Any advice given is always YMMV...

I would be surprised if it reports as 3%.  Purchases made inside the grocery store are coded differently.. but it would be nice to get 3% back instead of 2%!  The next time I get gas there I'll try pre-paying at the little gas-station kiosk and see how that gets coded.
