I saw the very same neighborhood store was coded as groceries on 7/11 purchase, but was coded as Wholesale center on 7/15!

It is the SAME neighborhood store with same billing address - WMT HQ at Bentonville, yet the coding changed from 7/11 groceries to 7/15 wholesale! I dont know it is WMT's issue or AMEX issue. Suffice to say, it would not get the category bonus.
