Does Hulu count in online shopping category with BOA customized cash rewards?

It seems like when many cards offer % back for "selected streaming services" Netflix and Hulu are not included. Such as with the Wells Fargo Autograph or even the bonus quarter wirh Discover's 5%. However, it makes me wonder does anyone know if Hulu and Netflix count towards online shopping if that is your chosen 3% category with your BOA customized cash rewards?

 

The only way I've been able to get it with my other cards so far is when Chase Freedom or Discover has PayPal as part of their 5% and pay for it via PayPal.

Thanks for this! Not the answer I was hoping for but not surprised. I tried looking on here and Reddit for someone asking the same question, but I guess I wasn't searching with the right key words.

I know it's not one of the cards that you mentioned, but CapOne's Savor One does count Hulu as streaming included in their 3% cash back.  Just an FYI.

I know your question has been answered, but for both Netflix and Hulu I generally just get gift cards at either Amazon or the grocery store so I don't have to be concerned with various categories.  If you go with Amazon they even have electronic delivery, so you don't even have to leave the couch.

 

This might open up some possibilities with your BoA CCR and possibly other cards as well.
