Thanks for your help SFO777 
I am aware of the benefit of the card. I have used my card plenty at OD but as I said in my follow up post I wanted CONFIRMATION from someone who had used their Bold card at Office Max that it in fact also posted as 5x. Card companies promise a lot but there are quite a few "gotchas" in them as well. Sorry if doing some due diligence gets under your skin but assuming things can often times lead to disappointment and long calls to various CSR.

Definition of "Office Supply Store"
Hi all.
For Ink Bold's 5x bonus, It's obvious that Office Depot is the foolproof stop, but is there an actual list of stores that can be defined as "office supply stores"? For example, I like to support "give-something-back" office products. not sure if they qualify! Or if anything bought online qualifies.
Any sort of list exist anywhere?
I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this, but I did search around.

Several threads asking variants of this question have been combined. Please see this thread in the Credit Card Programs forum:

Staples - Bought Gift Cards - not listed as office supply category!
So I have an Ink Plus and I bought 5 $200 Visa Gift Cards...well the expense category finally posted to the account and it shows "Work Related"...not office supplies.
Is this normal? 5x points in jeopardy??
