Chase Freedom Q2 Categories

K-in-Boston · ‎03-10-2018

Credit to TPG (and TPG credits DoC) but Q2 5%/5 UR categories are:
Grocery stores (overlap w/ Discover)
PayPal
Chase Pay

Disappointed that no other mobile payment counts this quarter but PayPal should be good with buying discounted airline or other travel GCs.

Well, looks like my sisters are buying groceries for the month of April and part of May since that's how long it'll take to get with how our household food spend is.

Sweet! Be using the wife's freedom & my discover (still in 1st year match) to power load Disney gift cards for next year's trip.

So yeah I’ll get 5% on groceries in April. Since I might upgrade my BCE in May I’ll probably just PayPal a bunch of gas gift cards after that.

What is your experience with buying GCs at Paypal? I'm always concerned with buying GCs which can be tempered with, at Paypal. Or fraud....

Less problem with GCs at grocery and drug stores.

The Apply iPay is much better than Chase Pay.

So is Google Pay for that matter. I don't know how people use Chase Pay.

ChasePay is crap and aside from best buy & Starbucks I don't know anyone who accepts it.

Only used it once when chase offered 10x UR for using ChasePay at best buy to stock up on some smart bulbs. Even best buy seemed confused about how to use it, and they're supposedly a premier partner for it.

The ShopRite takes it. The Freedom was running the 10% promotion up to $400. Some of the cashiers did not know about it. No benefit with that since ShopRite is also the grocery store. But I'll be using Chase Pay for double insurance.

I got the 10% ordering from them online for a relative. Walmart.com takes Chase Pay as well, not sure if this will extend to Chase Pay online or POS only.

Paypal is a great category for me, especially with eBay gift cards!
