Any cards that get 3% or more more wholesale clubs / Costco?

I've seen some talk about the Langley Signature which gets 2%, and sometimes elevagted to 5% (but capped at $100)

The Venmo credit card gets 3% because Costco seems to categorize as groceries for them

Any others I'm missing? Hoping to find some more that possible get 3% uncapped. Thanks

Amex BCE gets 3% at Sams Club when used with the scan and go feature in their app. It codes as online retail that way.

Re: Any cards that get 3% or more more wholesale clubs / Costco?

AAA Daily Advantage Visa Signature® Credit Card gets 3% cash back on up to $10K annual spend. It is somewhat geo-fenced but is regional with only certain parts of the country where AAA uses a different issuer. 

EDIT: Also adding that the US Bank Altitude Reserve gives 3% back if you use mobile wallet (works in store at CostCo) and up to 4.5% back if you redeem for travel with some hoop jumping. Yes there is an annual fee, but it is also unlimited cash back.

5% Capped Cash Back:

4.5% Unlimited Cash Back:

4% Unlimited Cash Back:

2% Unlimited Cash Back (back up travel card with no FTF):

Re: Any cards that get 3% or more more wholesale clubs / Costco?

I think the only "unlimited" 3% would be Venmo and USBAR. Robinhood is as well, but they seem quick to shutdown Costco spend rewards. Redstone is geofenced for new applications and has a $7000 spend cap for wholesale and then drops to 1.5. AAA from Comenity has a 10k cap (but shared between all of the 3%/5% categories) and then drops to 1%.

Huntington Voice has a 3% warehouse category for Sam's Club and similar stores. But it's a Mastercard and I don't think Costco takes MC, right?

If online shopping is the selected category for the Bank of America Customized Cash Rewards card, online purchases at the clubs get 3%; orders can be shipped or picked up in-store.  If you have a large balance with Bank of America/Merrill you can get up to 75% more cashback  -- up to 5.25%.
