Merchants that sell food and drinks located within facilities such as sports stadiums, hotels and casinos, theme parks, grocery and department stores will not be included in this category unless the merchant has set up such purchases to be classified in a restaurant category. Purchases made at bakeries, caterers, or gift card merchants are not included in the category. Delivery service merchants will be included if they classify as a restaurant merchant.“
Gas stations
Chase defines this category as “Merchants in the gas stations category sell automotive gasoline that can be paid for either at the pump or inside the station, and may or may not sell other goods or services at their location. Merchants that do not specialize in selling automotive gasoline are not included in this category; for example, truck stops, boat marinas, oil and propane distributors, and home heating companies.“
Grocery stores
Chase defines this category as “Merchants in the grocery stores category include supermarkets, merchants that offer a full service grocery line of merchandise including a deli and bakery as well as smaller grocery stores. Some merchants that sell grocery items are not included in this category; for example, larger stores that sell a wide variety of goods and groceries, such as warehouse clubs, discount stores and some smaller merchants such as drugstores, and merchants that specialize in only a few grocery items. Purchases made at gas stations from merchants who also operate grocery stores are not included in this category. Delivery service merchants will be included if they classify as a grocery store merchant.“
Home Improvement Stores

Purchases from contractors or specialists for providing a home improvement service are not eligible in this category. Merchants that sell a wide variety of general goods which may include home improvement supplies, for example, warehouse clubs, discount stores, or grocery stores, are not included in this category. Also, merchants that specialize in wholesale or commercial sales, home furnishings, garden and landscaping supplies are not included.“
Were You Targeted?
After checking for my cards, I received 5x everywhere on most of my Chase co-branded consumer cards! So 5x and 7x on Gas Stations, Groceries, and Home Improvement stores. Plus, my Chase Freedom Visa cards are getting 5x on Gas Stations, Car Rental Agencies, Movie Theaters, and Select Live Entertainment – Chase will be getting a lot of my swipes this quarter! What about you, what did you get?
