My understanding of the new term is that the $50K cap is on 5%, not including the spending for $6.5K. If you have the cap, everyday spending is better to meet the requirement (without the consideration of costs).

"Up to 5% Cash Back at U.S. supermarkets, U.S. gas stations & select U.S. drugstores (Everyday Purchases). Up to 1% Cash Back on other purchases. For your first $6,500 in purchases in a reward year, you will receive 1% on Everyday Purchases, and 0.5% on other purchases. After your first $6,500 in purchases, you will receive 5% on Everyday Purchases up to $50,000 and 1% on other purchases."
