I am missing like 70MR points only but it is a matter of principle
looks like an interesting market. i have to visit that sometime!
i would call the MR dept to test my luck and get that included for future purchases. maybe they will agree its a grocery store! or they could totally argue this market is a "specialty retail". def not a normal grocery store like safeway. but while 70MR may not seem like much, its still worth ~$1 with schwab or with transfer bonus to a partner airline in premium cabin, a lot more. just depends if you want to bother. its really quick though.
i have called many times for 4x dining. not supermarket issues, but def cafes that dont code as dining. they sometimes tell me its not coded for dining so they will make an exception to give me the points one time. and sometimes, they agree with me and make a note to a certain dept to include that vendor for future 4x dining. its a win for everyone who now goes to that retailer.

This happened a while ago and was for a small amount of money so I didn't pursue it by calling, but still can remember the chat person's utter angry.
totally. chat is useless. thank you for the DP. they have no authority to do anything productive.
