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.)

Then Chase would only know you bought something from Groupon and you'd get the normal default 1x on the purchase rather than the 5x for the quarters category spending.
I have the freedom flex card and opened it last year. I can never get the card to give me the 5% back on gas purchase and then grocery category is weak sauce. The PayPal one was clutch other than that it's been hard to use the card to its full potential. Freedom + Sapphire is still the best combo. I guess adding the flex helps a bit.
I activated in Dec 2023 when I got the email, then when I got my bill in January, I noticed that I got no 5% cash back for groceries, then they sent me another email saying I need to activate. Frustrating. Hit or miss on activating.

The 5% for supermarkets started on Jan 1st, 2024. Did you make the purchases after that date? If so, which supermarket did you go to?

Amazon has a prime card through chase i think 5% off for amazon purchases
You have a point but effort has a $ value that's different for everyone. I won't drive somewhere to buy gift cards and then track usage to save $15. But a few clicks on a browser is well worth it to me.
