(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.

Last Q4 had wholesale clubs. So much better. This one stinks.
BJ's takes PayPal. Sam's is an easy one also with Discover's 5% CB at Walmart next quarter. Buy a GC at WM and use at Sam's. Costco is another matter.

It's not optimal. Instead of sending money to someone use to pay taxes for 2% fee

I didn't know you could do that thanks! After looking it up, it sounds like you can pay federal tax using "pay USA tax website" through PayPal and they charge a 1.96% fee only. Is this what you're referring to? Very cool trick! Thank you

Man, I could've used the vet one last month when my dog got that mystery respiratory illness. Cost me an arm and a leg.

Those who are in NYC (maybe NY state). You can pay your property tax bill online using Paypal. They have 2% surcharge but with this offer, you make out 3%. I did it last year and paid off $6,000 across 4 Chase cards. $180 in my pocket for paying something that must be paid.

Is Chase usually slow in CC approval?

I submitted over the weekend, but still no word.

I didn't realize I could checkout with PayPal at BJ's online. I will do that for some BJ's GCs. Thanks.
