I don't see any minimum transaction amount specified. For some Chase bonus offers I've received, there has been a minimum transaction amount of $1.75. I suppose they assume that utility, communication, and insurance bills will be more than that, and that most people will charge the entire amount of the bill to the card?

In other words, Bill Pay is a "Push" function while merchant submits a payment to your card is a "Pull" function - so how does everyone interpret which mechanism is the one for this promotion offer?
Agreed, I noticed that too. I think they mean the latter. The fine print says "
