Update 10/6/21: Reader Greg lets us know that that not all Walmart are working automatically to get the 5x points. Specifically, Walmart Supercenters which codes as Grocery Store, Supermarkets” don’t seem to be working. You can possibly get manual credit, but might want to avoid the hassle. Can also just buy $1,500 in Walmart gift cards online and use them at any Walmart store or Sam’s Club or Walmart/Sam’s gas stations. (1, 2) Update 10/10/21: Reader Ryan suggests a different theory that small purchases are not posting correctly while large purchases are.
Original Post:
Chase has released the 5x categories for the fourth quarter of 2021 on the Freedom and Freedom Flex cards:
- PayPal
- Walmart
I love the PayPal category since it’s pretty easy to use at thousands of online merchants, tax payments, charities, etc. Should work in conjunction with PayPal Key as well.
These categories will go live for activation tomorrow, but are already showing in the online login.
