In the past department stores have always been a q4 category. With the Amazon prime store credit card that gives 5% back, bonus categories for Chase and Discover really don't do me any good outside of third party gift cards that amazon sells that aren't eligible for the 5% statement credit.

I wish they would bring back charitable donations for a q4 category like they had a few years ago. Making my year end charity donations was a very easy way of maxing out my q4 bonus that year. Hopefully discover will have online payments as a q4 category this year since my church now accepts paypal for pledge payments
