BTW for folks like me for whom gas station is otherwise useless, you might want to check what gift cards some of em sell-- last time they had this category it acted as a backdoor extra 5x quarter for amazon and Uber for me because the local Sheetz sold amazon and Uber GCs... (among many other GCs like Lowes, Ebay, Apple, Xbox, etc)
why is this *select Freedom/Flex cardholders? I thought it's ALL Freedom/Flex Cardholders for Q3?
Crappy categories

Is there some app that lets you record/track cashbacks for each card so you don't have to search while paying?
Folks rarely use more than 2 or 3 cards with rotating categories- just put a note in your phone with which is which category, and a quarterly reminder to update the note.
Then click on whatever the most recent "Quarterly categories" link is there to see the current ones for all the rotating cards.... but that won't actually help you if one of them is one where YOU pick your 5% categories like the US bank one... the note idea would.
Kroger used to sell Kroger gift cards at the Kroger gas station which made hitting the $1,500 to pay for groceries and gas quite easy then you could turn around and transfer the points to your Sapphire reserve for seven and a half percent plus back plus fuel points on up to 35 gallons and up to a dollar off. During covid you could pay your grocery bill at 1.5 x on the sapphire and Kroger has 500 visa cards with 4x points and we had 2 sapphire cards with 100k point bonuses. I think I got another 60k with a checking account deal. It was a sweet deal. Husband and wife an link chase cards to move points to the most appropriate card. I stacked the instacart membership on to one account for like two plus years of membership and it gives $15 a month and free groceries per card plus $10 every quarter on another card and one of the grocery stores near me has a $10 minimum and they carry some products I can't get at my main grocery stores they give a 5% discount for pickup making the price pretty darn close to shopping in store. if something's out of stock or the order is split those credits can be spread across multiple credits in the same month on each individual card on the same instacart account so it turns out to be about $43 and free groceries a month. my MasterCard is world elite so I get perks from that on status and the Visa Sapphire reserves are Visa infinites which also gives status and perks. I don't know if it's still going but Visa infinite gave you 3 years of shipped free. I also give you $5 of doordash credits a month in a doordash membership on the reserve that can accumulate to $15 over 3 months but since we have two cards that's actually 30. Chase's Nerf the pay yourself back program a little bit on the sapphire there used to be more 1.5 x categories that are now 1.25 which you would expect on the preferred card and not the reserve card. You could pay restaurants for quite a while back at 1.5 x Plus earning a lot more points at the restaurant. another weird thing it isn't very consistent when you log into Chase's phone app is there's a lot of coupon discounts you can apply to the credit card for different stores that automatically boost your cash back when you shop there but it's been inconsistent that sometimes they show when you log in and sometimes they don't.
Didnt know that store coded instore purchases as gas been using 7eleven but they are not in great locations so good to know theres a second place for gift cards
Why not just get a chase ink cash card then...you can get gift cards at 5X at Staples and Office Depot any day of the year?
This is an underrated tip that got down voted. This card offers 5% back on Staples, which regularly has Visa GC's with $0 activation.
It acts as 5% back on most things. Even if you keep a separate card for Gas and Dining (often require a separate authorization). This is a way to earn 5% on streaming services, mobile phone, and all groceries every month.
Last year I went to a stand alone 7 eleven and it turns out their credit card system charged me as a gas station so I got the 5x points on it. Not sure how much a person can spend at 7 eleven though. Might be worthwhile to see if other stores will charge you as a gas station.
So what you do is you put the gas station spending and gift cards in the freedom then move the points to the sapphire for the multiplyer. Husband and wife can link cards as well for combining maximum point redemption.

Get both and stack, points are transferrable to Sapphire for better redemption rate
The original Freedom is a visa so maybe that would work
Yes correct
