YouTube TV in 5-6% categories

I am researching on streaming options and it looks YouTube TV works better than other options like Netflix or At&t.

 

Which cards would work the best for cashback/MR on its monthly fee (~50$)? Does US Bank count it in its streaming 5% category (not mentioned in its streaming list)?

 

I know that AMEX BCP has included it in its 6% streaming category. But want to see whether there are other similar otpions.

I pay my YouTube tv subscription with Google play balance, which I reload by purchasing and redeeming Google gift card at 10-20% discount (amex offers, earn more mall, chase offers, safeway J4U).

And with less discount: if you have an Amazon card you can buy google play/netflix/spotify etc gift cards there and get a 5% discount

Re: YouTube TV in 5-6% categories

I could not find any offer via AMEX/Chase. The only thing that I could find was 6% discount on Google Giftcards via Sam's club.Where can I find such 10%-20% discount offers?

 

Sam's club has AF of 45$ but there is an AMEX offer of 25$ for new members (expiring soon). I mainly use Amazon/Walmart, need to do more researches to see whether Sam's club would be useful for me...

Believe the Chase Ink Cash codes it as 5%. I know for sure it does for Netflix

Total cost for youtube tv annually is just about 650. You will have to wait for offers to appear. In between offers, I use amex gold's grocery gift card to hold me over. Since I value that MR at 2cpp, its 8%.

 

Right now, I have the following (which is more than enough for the entire year of youtube TV if I use towards it):

  1. 5x extra on my propel and wells fargo visa at khols (thats 9.6% towards flight), max $400 on two cards.
  2. chase freedom 5x category at khols and paypal (thats 8% towards chase portal travel expense), I maxed this quarter already.
  3. amex offer just show up for lowes today, 10 off 50. Thats 20%. I have this on two of my cards, so max $100.
  4. 30 off 300 at bestbuy on my bbp, thats 14%.
  5. Today is also the last day for safeway J4U reward, which gives 16x grocery points for 50+ google play card purchase. This is close to 10 off 50, 20+%.

I am not using these because I have 250 balance on my google account. I need these offers for my amazon spending.
