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.)

A braggart who left the important part out of needing $100K in money at Bank of America or Merrill

It never fails that cgigate brags about his 5.25% while leaving out the important requirement.
LOL, yeah that was kind of an important thing he left out.

Still, 3% back (I selected online shopping as my category) capped at $2500 per quarter is about as good as you'll get for a card that doesn't use rotating categories. I use it exclusively for online shopping except for the months when Chase Freedom gives out 5% for Paypal.

Yeah, I have it linked on Paypal except when Chase gives 5% for Paypal like this quarter.

I wish Fidelity would do something similar with their 2% Rewards VISA. I wouldn't mind getting a flat 3.5% on everything.

Amex Blue cash everyday card is probably the best general purpose card without a cash calendar, 3% supermarkets, 3% online retail purchases, and 3% on gas. Yes, there are other stuff or places which doesn't accept AMEX is not part of this and you can use a 2% cash back card for this.

I'll be using my Citi Custom Cash for gas during Q1 while my Chase Freedom Flex is getting 5% back on grocery. One could use the Custom Cash for 5% back on gas full time.

This is definitely YMMV. I've fought this too many times to count and finally gave up trying. I was always charged the credit price, and even the idiot "managers" have told me "you used a card." It was a hopeless cause and a waste of time.

You can also get 5.25% CB on gas full time (well, $2500 per quarter) if you've got Plat status with BoA with the right cards
