I tend to just use whatever card I feel like to that day lmao
Have a chase Amazon card but barely use it on Amazon lol
i am no where near max of 6000 for groceries on my amex BCP card, and its getting downgraded next month anyways to a BCE. I may as well take advantage of the 6% category while i still have it. Eventually I think when i get my SM card that will be on amazon duty, except when i need to buy an big purchase like an laptop or TV maybe.
No groceries sell Amazon gift cards + to scared to even try that with amex lol.
really thats odd i just goto some of the chain ones here and almost all of them sell them lol. They have an big rack of all these cards lol . They have VGC, amazon, gap, bestbuy, XBOX, PSN, Itunes, Google Play , and an few different chain restuarants lol
I go to Met Foods which is a local chain here. I think the Pathmark had some but I have stopped going there since my Mother crashed our car and total it going only like 30 MPH on the LIE
Last time I was there I was like 13 ish?
how do you crash on the LIE there are so many lanes and they are really really wide !!! :-) Every supermarket i have been to sells them except the high end ones like whole foods and fairway i think.
I think i can invest in some of those amazon cards though, who knows when you need to buy stuff from amazon :-)

All the grocery stores have them where I live. Stop and Shop and every grocery store here on Long Island usually has a huge selection of different GCs and even VGC. I am not worried about buying them as I have before on my EDP. I am not really worried about what Amex is going to do I buy them for gifts either Amazon or VGC. I think if I worried about they think I must be doing something wrong. I am sure Amex know the difference between abuse and general spend.

I buy Amazon gift cards regularly for Gifts but usually through Amazon.com and not in stores since it would be 1% anyways . Getting 3% back on something I do regularly is also a positive but probably won't do it on an Amex card

Ahhh i see , i could see that happening on the LIE since people tailagate like crazy on LIE. I actually like wholefoods stuff better than fairway and i think they are almost the same price. Fairway is closer tho, and they have an interesting wine shop

You are really lucky then... after over 100 Publix, WinDixie, Albertsens, etc I gave up and did a few Macys and JCP gift cards as BCP does not count them as department stores if you order online. Shopping for small tall sizes in store is a nightmare so that leaves me with online shopping. That BCP will get downgraded next year as I do not get anymore than the 1% out of this card. Was counting on buying Amazon gift cards but did not realize that they are never available. So I am happy with Sallie Mae and will get 5% on groceries there as well with no AF. The limit is just fine for me as I live only 3-4 months per year in the US

The upromise.com portal has bonus spending at Amazon, but in various strange categories. So I don't find it particularly useful. I do wonder if the Upromise.com credit card gives 5% on all amazon purchases when used via the upromise.com portal though. But, thats just an idle thought 
Sallie Mae and US Bank Cash+ are best for Amazon, with 5% available at all times. Discover IT (online purchases) and Chase Freedom (Amazon) have 5% in the 4th quarter.
Because of the wide availability of 5% cash back cards in the Book Stores/Amazon category, it seems a waste to try to get your Blue Cash Preferred to transfer Grocery store cash back to Amazon cash back via gift cards. Especially since BCP doesn't give more than 4.75% cash back in the best of circumstances. So the simple straightforward way is also the best way.

I have bought vgc at a&p and stop and shop before , but i do put an fair amount of grocery spending on BCP so i don't think they cared that much. You never know with amex tho.
