For gas stations that charge cash and credit prices, using a gift card gets you the "cash" price. Pretty nifty.
Walmart has never been included.
You'd be doing all that loading up on Amazon Gift Cards for just 5%? If that's your approach for Amazon, and you have Prime, I'd recommend just applying for the Amazon Prime credit card (a Visa card from Chase) which gives 5% back on every Amazon purchase anyway, with no dollar limit. (Whereas, Chase Freedom and Discover both limit to $1,500 worth of purchases per quarter for their 5% calendars; anything after $1,500 spent in the quarter only gets you a measly 1% back).
The Prime credit card also occasionally offers sign-up bonuses, such as a $100 Amazon gift card loaded to your account immediately upon approval. You can read up more about it here[amazon.com].
Honestly, for a frequent Amazon shopper who already has Prime, getting that card is a no-brainer. And perhaps more importantly than 5% back, is that since you'd be making your purchases with a Credit card rather than Gift cards, you'd add all the benefits that a Credit card provides which using a Gift card would forfeit (Extended Warranty, purchase protection, etc.)

Amazon Prime Visa doesn't seem eligible:
We can't enroll you with the information you provided.
Please make sure you entered the primary cardmember's last name exactly as it appears on the credit card.
If your name includes a suffix such as Jr., Ill, Esq., etc., please include it in the last name field.
If you've recently changed your address or replaced a lost or stolen card, please enter your previous ZIP Code or your previous card's last 4 digits.
Please try entering your information again or call the number on the back of your card for assistance.
This is for the freedom/freedom flex. The other chase cards don't have rotating 5% categories.
I wish they had better clarity on what stores are covered too!
For grocery, it's going to be most major chains except target, Walmart, anything membership like Costco.. So Meijer, Kroger, Publix, etc. but usually not their gas stations if they have them.
It's hard to know for sure but if it's feasible you can always make a test purchase and wait for it to post before you go all in.

You can buy gift cards from grocery chains and use them at fuel station, not best option bit still feasible to save that way. I have been doing it at Kroger for such deals.

Just have to buy 1500$ worth I guess to get 75$ back?
