I understand all that and that's why I was wondering if the credit would be triggered by such a transaction because it would depend on how the transaction shows up on the statement and if Chase system recognizes it as an eligible transaction or not.

As an example, the purchase of an AA gift card triggers the credit for the airline credit on Amex Aspire cards even though it isn't supposed to be an eligible charge and the URL that aa website takes you to is giftcards.aa.com.

There are other examples as well but the bottom line is that we don't know if a specific charge will trigger a credit or not until it's actually tried which is something that's been done many times for multiple credits on many different cards over the years here. I'm pretty sure we'll get a DP on this one as well sooner or later and I may just be the one to bring it .
