Amazon.com(will use for Christmas shopping)
Zappos.com(won't use)
Audible.com(won't use)
Diapers.com(may use to buy my kid diapers)

This makes me reconsider apping for the freedom. Discovers 4th quarter is 100x better compared to these four stores.

Discover > Freedom for the 4th Quarter.

My thought exactly. I had to look up what audible.com was.

discover 5% quater kinda sucks compare to last years, because it was "online shopping" rather than amazon.com and dept stores.

Oooo. I just got my Disc this year; that's nice to know! It is certainly much better.

I'm gonna buy diapers for myself after seeing these Freedom categories.

Umm yea. Looks like Freedom will be SD'd for the rest of the year after September 30th...

Wow, okay, Chase needs to step their game up to even think about keeping up with Discover, hahaha!

Re: Chase 4th quarter 5% categories

Wow, lame categories. This just further reinforces my belief that Discover trumps Freedom any day. So there are not even any brick and mortar store rewards? It's all online? You can get deals on those sites through many portals anyway!

There's definitely no need to app for a Freedom, trust me. The categories are basically the same as Discover for Q4, except as usual Discover's are more broad (you can go buy shoes at a "clothing store" under Discover, etc). I haven't looked, but zappos and diapers.com are probably on discover deals anyway for 5% or more. In short, Freedom needs to step up the game.

Has Freedom won any quarter this year? I certainly don't remember there being any use for a Freedom since summer 2014.

It's pretty sad, since really Freedom is the only "cash back" card Chase even offers. All the rest are cobranded/travel focused/etc.
