Stamps.com as US Shipping category?
I have an American Express SimplyCash Business credit card. One of the 3% cash back bonus categories is "US Shipping".
Do membership charges and postage charges from Stamps.com qualify for the bonus earnings? Post your experiences!

The link in wiki now takes me to an offer of 75K after $5k in 3m. However, it also says I must apply by 1/26. However, my "public" offer is 25K after $5k in 3m. Hopefully that'll go up when my next app cycle comes along.

I moved your question into this thread discussing another Business card which has the same bonus category. Scroll back only a couple messages to see the answer. You may also wish to read here:

Moops380: Can you confirm they are still giving you 3x on shipping including stamps.com? We use shipstation and stamps.com and noticed that half of our transactions are processed "usps postage stamps.com" and the other half are "stamps.com US Postage". The first one is categorized as shipping, while the second is Other - Miscellaneous. I spoke with someone on the phone at AMEX and they promised to have stamps.com transactions changed to shipping expenses and that they would make it retroactive to when I first signed up (3 weeks ago) and I'd get all the points. I got a case # and followed up after a week because the online acct still showed other-misc for the stamps.com transactions. I was told the case was closed and that they couldn't tell how things were categorized yet because I hadn't reached the end of a billing cycle yet. There was no action to follow up and nothing was done to resolve the issue. I've already spend $12k on this Amex gold card and will get the 75K bonus points, but if they screw me out of the 3x for shipping I will probably use the points I have, then close the acct. Nobody likes being lied to.
If they are still doing this for you, I'm going to give it another try after the billing cycle ends in a week, and I'll be asking for supervisors/managers to speak with. It may come in handy to let them know that I'm aware they have the ability to fix this issue.

3x still posts for ups, stamps, and express1. My last purchase that has posted was on 1/21, so there is some lag on the points posting. Probably wait at least 2 months from purchase then verify.

UPDATE: I confirmed today with AMEX that I am getting the triple points for both "stamps.com USPS" and the "USPS - Stamps.com" transactions. The only annoyance is that the "stamps.com-USPS" transactions still categorize as "miscellaneous" under the expense reporting function of the AMEX Gold card.
So as Moops380 had said - they can make sure people are getting the points, even if the vendor is registered as miscellaneous.
I got the 75K bonus points for spending $10K in the first 3 months - it actually only took me about 2 weeks to blow through $10K of business expenses, so that was plenty good of a deal. Hope this helps anyone else looking at this program.

The merchant classification is selected by the merchant's credit card processor, not by American Express. I think it's worth mentioning to the merchant that their classification is creating a problem in your bookkeeping system. More likely to take it seriously if it has a business implication than if it pertains to rewards.
