Only on up to $1500 in spending in a 3 month period. OP has $20k in spending over 8 months.
OP, if your credit is good then you should use the spending to meet spending requirements on multiple cards. You'll get way more from focusing on sign up bonuses than on category bonuses. With $20k spending you could get the following:
2 x
Citi AAdvantage 50k = $6k spending in 4 months
1 x
Chase United 55k = $1k spending in 3 months
1 x
Amex SPG 30k = $5k spending in 6 months
1 x
Chase Sapphire Preferred 40k = $2k in 3 months
2 x
Citi Hilton 50k = $3k in 6 months
1 x
Citi Thank You Premier 50k = $2.5k in 3 months
With the remaining $500 you could get any of these cards that require only a first purchase to get the bonus:
