Interesting. Chase, this current quarter is doing 5% at gas stations. Who the hell can buy that much gas? Most of us fill up once a week I would think. Next quarter its at amazon. What I was hoping was to get points for paying my monthly bills with the cards like car insurance, cell phone, cable etc. Maybe some food and supermarket. then I could easily hit 2K a month in spending.

If you wanted to maximize your rewards, you'd have to utilize several cards.

For instance, consider the following:

1.  Freedom/IT - spend ONLY in 5% categories, and ONLY up to $1,500 per quarter--not a penny more.

2.  Ink/Cash+ for 5% Cell Phone & Cable, 5% fast food dining.

3.  Sallie Mae/BCP for Supermarkets.

4.  Fid Amex 2% for the rest.

This way, you'll maximize cash rewards.  Anything not 5%, you should receive at least 2% cashback.

It still blows my mind but a lot of posters here spend that much on gas! I fill up once every 3 weeks for like $25.

I'm with Callandra. My little Mazda is a 4 cylinder and I only fill up once every couple of weeks for $25-$30.
