Chase has officially launched the 5% rotating categories for Q4. Cardholders will be able to receive 5% cash back on the following purchases from October 1st until December 31st:
- Wholesale Clubs
- Department Stores
- Chase Pay
Cardholders can activate these categories here. Last year Chase offered Walmart and Department stores for the last quarter. Chase also offered Chase Pay as a 5% category in Q2 of 2018.
I got BJ’s membership and met spending on all 5 freedom cards……thanks for the tip………..However now i have 15 OV Visa GC’s of 500 each(These cards are issued by Bancorp) ……What is best way to Unload them? Do they load for BB or Serve at WM???? Please let me know…….
Not recommended to buy $7500 in gift cards with no game plan to drain. Best of luck to you.
Can someone confirm buying a costco cash card online will get the 5%?
Anyone have an iphone and know how to MS this?
I have 5 Freedoms so it’s worth some effort to me, but very low income so very little “store” expenses.
Walmart.com & Samsclub online cost $6.88 per $200 gc. This is cost prohibitive. Bjs & BB don’t sell visa or mc gift cards online.
Reports are buying gcs at Walmart using Walmart pay isn’t working.
It’s looking like I’d have to buy a Samsung phone in order to do this deal…. at Walgreens or maybe Walmart….??
I linked Chase Pay to WM Pay and tried to buy 3 VGC’s at WM using WM pay and system did not allow me to buy the 3 VGCs of $500 each
It still said I need to use cash or debit card to buy them
Is this correct? Or any idea what I did wrong?
Paying using Samsung Pay (via Chase Pay) is reporting as 1% instead of 5% for me.
Update: I removed the card from Samsung Pay, and re-added through Chase Pay and now it is reporting 5%.
Great tip. Thank you.
So I used Chase Pay at my local Shoprite supermarket (they actually take Chase Pay) earlier this month and noticed that I got 10x points!
Oh wait, I see there is a post about this: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-pay-earn-10-back-or-1000-points-at-shoprite-1500-points-for-making-5-purchases-elsewhere/
I added Chase Pay to WM pay and tried to buy VGC in store and it did not go through via Walmart Pay
Anyone has had success doing this? Please reply and let us know if successful
if your transaction has any VGC, a small paper will print to alert cashier to ask for a separate payment for the VGC if you’re using WMPay.
So basically i cannot buy the VGC at WM using WMpay (to which i have added Chase Pay as payment mode), RIGHT???????????
How else to do spending for this quarter for 5% CB for freedom at WM then?
Do you have a newer Samsung phone? Use Samsung Pay (launched from within the Chase Pay app) to get 5% CB pretty much everywhere, including Walmart.
Chase Pay is still temporary unavailable on Walmart.com ?!
I cannot add chase pay as Payment option in my Walmart App
I see option to add credit or debit card or gift card but option of Adding Chase Pay as payment option is JUST NOT THERE in my Walmart Pay at all to select
Is this something wrong on
My end I am doing or that option is removed by Walmart Pay?
If you’re on iOS it doesn’t work. I had the same problem when they launched the ability to add it. No fix as far as I know.
So how are people able to do it? Don’t they have Apple iPhone ios too?
Works on Android
I have Android phone and i faced the same issue. Used walmart pay, with chase pay selected already in walmart pay. Transaction for buy VC did not go through. Admin your thoughts/inputs?
Just got the chase freedom, does anyone know if Costco Gas will count as wholesale?
Nope. It’s in the exclusion list. Costco Gas now codes as Gas Station and hence it earns 5% during the Gas Station 5% cash back period.
