Citi Double Cash card transactions post as purchase (CA limit was set to $0) but only receive 1% cashback for the purchase and DO NOT receive the additional 1% for the payment. It was explained that charges made within the given merchant category are not considered true purchases, but are considered a transfer of funds from one form to another.
UPDATE:
Based on receiving a CB adjustment several months later and the CB reports of others it seems a change was made to allow the full 2% CB.
