Apple/Android Pay and Amex Rewards Categories

Has anyone here used Apple or the new Android Pay to see if the transactions get associated with the right merchant categories? I did try it a while back with the old Google Wallet NFC on my Android (before the new Android Pay which is just rolling out now) and found that when I used it at a grocery store, where I should be getting 6% back with the Blue Cash Preferred, I found that the transaction was categorized as a generic internet transaction (or business service or something...)

I figured if Amex is pushing NFC payments, they would want to fix this but I haven't yet experimented to see if the right merchant category is picked up.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
