What qualifies as a "restaurant" for the Q2 2014 bonus?

From the Freedom website:
Merchants in the Restaurants category are merchants whose primary business is sit-down or eat-in dining, including fast food restaurants as well as fine dining establishments. Please note that some merchants that sell food and drinks located within larger merchants that sell other goods or services may not be included in this category; for example, sports stadium concessions and department store cafeterias.

My local Kohl's (Fort Worth) has a rack of gift cards, but I haven't been in a few weeks and couldn't say what they're for -- probably lots of restaurants such as Chili's and Olive Garden, plus iTunes. Great for Christmas gifts, not so great for personal use (at least for me).

Eh, with how eBay fees are now, it's not worth the effort. I would prefer keeping the method of buying Amazon gift cards on the down-low as I don't want this to get exploited by many people.

All depends on the quarter bonus that is happening. Last quarter was gas stations, just had to find a station that sold VGC's and it was easy.. Hint... 7-11's but that got shot down early in that quarter... But it is doable.

No simply MS that will allow you to transfer money back to your bank account or CC; however, it will be very useful if you use Amazon as much as I do!

unfortunately for most people that frequent this forum, we already have a chase ink classic/bold/plus that ears 5% buying amazon GCs at office supply stores so from a MS standpoint this quarter blows

Some Sears do not even have the GC rack.
There's much talk about it in various threads in the manufactured spending forum.
