(When viewing the quarterly categories outside of logging in to chase.com, it says info coming soon. However, when logging in to credit card and viewing the details link next to where it shows current categories....see 2nd screenshot I have here.............it shows all the year's categories, including the above Q4 list, which I've attached as pic #1 here.)

Push purchases to PayPal for three months. Walmart.com takes PayPal, as well as most online vendors other than Amazon.

If you haven't hit your $1500 maximum by the end of the quarter, send money to yourself or a family member using PayPal. There's a 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fee, so you pocket 2%.

Edit: I like another posters idea of making a quarterly tax payment using PayPal. 2% fee, pocket 3%. Plus, no risk of it being categorized as a cash advance. https://www.payusatax.com/

You'll get it back with your tax refund.
OP, is this is for Freedom and Freedom Flex cards only? if so, might want to change to "select Chase Freedom cardholders."

This is one of the stranger groups of Chase categories I've seen.
Last years Q4 had Costco and PayPal.

Quote from CHTL19 :
Does anyone know if I can use Paypal in Kroger or HEB in-store?
Buy Kroger gift cards from giftcards.kroger and use it at Kroger stores or Kroger family stores.
Citi Custom Cash Card credit card offers 5% back purchasing items in grocery stores up to $75 cash back per quarter. US Bank Cash+ offers 5% back paying utility bills up to $75 cash back per quarter. So, $1500 per quarter purchased/paid.

I use it for donations. Most charities take PayPal now so easy 5% cash back then claim them for taxes.

Is there a risk of this being classified as a cash advance. It wasn't in the past, but credit cards have been cracking down on these kinds of moves.

Yeah. You might be charged cash advance fee and as well interest starting immediately by your credit card company.

You could buy Amazon gift cards from Best Buy using PayPal at checkout.

Probably you used Discover for that. They offer 5% cash back for Amazon and Target that quarter.
