All 4 walmarts near my house are coded as grocery stores for Visa/MC 4 out of 5 Target stores are also code as grocery stores for Visa/MC. I usually walk 15 minutes to the nearest Target to load AFT and RedBird , stop by some restaurants, and walk back to my office during lunch break.

However, AMEX treat all Walmarts & Targets as warehouse and not grocery stores. I only use AMEX gift cards at Walmart/Target but not old Blue or BCP.
