Some grocery stores sell gift cards that can be credited to netflix/hulu etc as well, making them eligible for 4.5x MR for AmEx or 5-6% cash back from grocery cards etc.

I pay for both my Netflix membership and Hulu by purchasing gift cards for them at Kroger, earning me Fuel Points.  I pay with my BCP, earning me 6% cash back.

Yes the 5 "percent" back on 7.99 is neglible especially since statement credits with thank you points will give you nowhere near 5 percent. But its nice it counts

Very good question!  

I think this was the first thread you particupated in: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Citi-Forward-My-Oldest-CC-Being-Discontinued/m-p/382275...

 

Just above your very first post:

 

 

There are at least two types of Forward cards out there, one with gives 5 TYP per $ on entertainment, critically including restaurants, bookstores (including Amazon)  and other things

 

Not that I am stalking or anything!
