(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.

Guess I will be using Uber eats via PayPal lol
I would not recommend you use paypal on Uber. You can order $200 worth of Uber gift cards every 14 days at 20% off at Costco.com.

If PayPal themselves offer cashback, it's currently 5%, then it will stack for 10%. Hopefully the PayPal cashback deal will continue in Q4
Do you have to opt in for PayPal cashback?

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.
Discover 5% at Walmart is this quarter, not next.

October to December it's Target and Amazon for Discover.

I've never got it to work that way. How do you get it to stack?

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.

You don't have doggy insurance?

Nope and I had just looked into it too but my last two dogs didn't have any issues until they were much older so I thought it would be a waste of money. Kicked myself after that. Now that I have it I'm sure there won't be any more problems laugh out loud

I can never activate this. Keep getting the following message:

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.

Doesn't Pay1040 have a lower fee for PayPal ? Seems to say 1.87% for all payments whereas payusatax is higher for PayPal.

The Chase website says person to person transactions may be prohibited.

Payments made through the Xoom transfer service are not eligible for 5%. Please note, Person-to- Person (P2P) transactions made with your Chase Freedom card on PayPal may be prohibited or not eligible for 5%.

Taxes are clearly the superior option. I wasn't aware that Chase now charges PayPal P2P items as cash advances, which is a problem for this. You can still use Paypal to send money to someone as "Pay for a product". That would qualify, but there are higher fees involved.
