Can't you write to customer service and get the cash back anyways? I am sure the catch is that they do not advertise to us that the merchant has to classify themself as a gas station or supermarket, but instead they tell us 5% back at gas stations, supermarkets and drugstore with no clear exceptions.....but it (terms and condtions) also do not say international transactions do not count for extra cash back....I would think that this is not in good business faith on their part even though it may be the rule and no doable.
