About $150. Worth. Not a lot. 6 25 dollar cards. Hope no AA.

The QS is 1.5% on EVERY purchase; not a category card. There would be no reason to be worried about AA.

It's only 1.5% I wouldn't worry about it.

While I agree with no need to worry, don't think that follows from the non-category.   If I bought $100K in Visa GC a month, Capital One might stil object as the rewards are much more than expected.
