It also includes merchants that sell electricity for charging an electric vehicle.
So I easily spend a few hundred dollars on rental cars every other month (probably more now that you can't get a rental car). I'm spending at least $25 monthly on bridge and highway tolls. Now that it's safe to ride in an Uber/Lyft to the airport and short trips another $100 month. Finally, instead of gas, my supercharger bill can run $50 a month or so for the electric car. Plus this would come in handy on the occasional rail, subway, mass transit trip and I could pretty easily get close to the $500 without going over/under. I'll update flyertalk after a few months of use to confirm they actually pay these categories.
For me that category would require lots of work and wasteful spending. Whereas a few other categories only require one $500 transaction a month.
