Why does the title say "select customers"? This is the standard feature for everyone with these cards. Rotating categories.
these days you can buy any gift card to anywhere or even a visa prepaid credit card which you can use anywhere. But for 5% I don't know if it's totally worth it for many things. You lose all the credit card benefits like extended warranty, the ability to chargeback. (And if you're me then you might lose the cards)
i mean if that works then technically you can buy gift cards to anywhere and get 5% off.

Interesting. I never thought that. I thought there was always an activation fee on them like the Visa gift cards of $5 or $6? But even then, as long as you got more than $100 (5% of $100 would zero out the fee), then you're ahead. That's an interesting perspective. Thanks!

No activation fee for Walmart GCs.

The only thing I'd still buy with a credit card is electronics or anything that a credit card extended warranty may prove useful. For groceries, etc, use the GCs in store.

For anyone curious, "paypal sending to friends and family may not be eligible for 5% bonus".

Could they be a bit more vague? Trial and error on this one I guess, someone please post their result 10/1.

That will not work. Per the Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Mastercard Terms and Conditions: 2% back on the purchase of gift cards at Walmart (online, app, Walmart Pay or in stores).

I think the 5% back is only for using Paypal at Walmart. Look at the fine print.

This applies to Flex and not Unlimited right? Unlimited is 3x drugstores all the time so wonder if Walmart qualifies

Oh sweet, my 6-month car insurance renewal happens next quarter and Progressive accepts Paypal. Well that takes care of $1000 of the $1500 max.

Is it Walmart in store also? Can you buy Walmart gift cards and use them at sam's club too?
Yeah, that is what I am planning to do, buy the cards at walmart in store and use them at sam's as well.

Quote from tptiburon :
Thanks! I have the Walmart card from Capital One, which gives 5% cashback for Online orders... but only 2% in store. So now I can get 5% in store! (but only up to a total of $75 cashback) Thanks!
Yeah, I was going to mention this - if you have the Walmart retail credit card, there is no point to use this for walmart online since theirs isn't capped like Chase is. But in store - bonus!

I tried that last month to see if I could use my Walmart credit card to get 5% back with sam's purchases - their system knows when you buy a physical gift card online and will only give you 2% like you would get in the store.

Why go through all these extra steps. Just create a PayPal Key which is a credit card number and add that to whatever place you want to use it at like Amazon. Set the funding source as the Chase Freedom/Flex card and the 5% happens automatically. Once you've spent the $1500 that gives you 5% back you'll only get 1% back so you may want to set your Amazon account to use another card that is like 1.5% or 2%.

In my experience a few months ago, I could only use gift cards at the register. But you can try, maybe it changed or maybe I missed something

I'm on hiatus from Sam's Club. I ended up upgrading to Plus for less than $10 towards the end of my membership because it was prorated and then they gave me a free year of Plus because I complained about online stock. When the rep said until September, I thought he meant 2020, but he gave me the membership until this month. I will likely join again on Black Friday when the membership cost is a wash or profit with freebies but I will miss the free shipping on the Plus membership so I hope there is a good deal on that.

You are correct, could not add the gift card. I would let my sam's club membership lapse periodically if not for the fear of losing my sam's credit card annual Cashback. If I could only find another free credit card that gave 5% back on gasoline.
