It does count? Ooooh....I have been using it but was unsure. Now I'll charge my fix every day~

Thank you for the list, Marvintran.

Oddly enough, the answer to this question will help me decide what to do with my Cap1 card.

I have the No Hassle Cash card, which gives me 1.25% cash back on all purchases, but it's one of those rebuilder cards and had a $500 limit. I called to cancel it, and they gave me a CLI to $1K. I decided to keep it for now, but if they won't waive my $29 AF when it comes due, I was going to just cancel it.

Then I saw that they recently started giving 2.5% cash back on all B&M Starbucks purchases $5 and over. Since I use my CC to load my registered Starbucks gift card, my purchases will always be more than $5.

So....

Right now I have the Citi Plat Amex, which gives me at least 3% on all purchases for two years, but once that reverts to 1%, I plan on getting a Chase Freedom.

Now that I know that Chase Freedom counts Starbucks as a Quick-Service Restaurant, I can safely dump the Cap1 card and still get decent rewards on my Starbucks purchases once I get the Chase Freedom two years from now.

Whew. I can draw a map to go with that if anyone needs one.

Thanks again, Marvintran.

I followed that just fine. I must say though, you are quite the planner if you are already figuring out the rewards for your starbucks purchases 2 years from now.

And, here I am using the card I've already got a few times to see if it works. Bahaha!

Well, that plan is subject to change 10 or 11 times between now and then, I'm sure.

That makes me feel better about being such a slacker.
