What types of purchases qualify for the Local Commuter Transportation category?
(Source: Chase Freedom FAQ)
Merchants in the Local Commuter Transportation category include regional operators of local commuter passenger trains, subways, metro, buses, taxis, and ferries. Please note that some merchants that provide transportation and related services are not included in this category; for example, national and international trains (such as Amtrak), airport shuttles/limousines, parking lots/garages, tolls/bridges, airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, cruise lines, travel agencies, discount travel sites, vacation clubs, tour operators, and some municipal/government owned entities.

Same here. "Summer fun" and "Holiday" sounds so specific.

Sometime in Quarter two the third and fourth Quarters should be known, may depend on Discover to some extent.

All 7-11 usually codes as gas stations for both Visa and Discover, even the ones without any pumps. I plan to buy something small early next year to check if this is still true in 2017.

Thanks for the idea! I've heard of that before, but never could get myself to bite since that would mean locking up funds in gift cards with no guaranteed spending coming up. There's also the fear of missing out on a bigger amazon discount. Finally, a lot of my amazon purchases end up being items where I'd like to have some kind of credit card extended warranty covering them. I know, I know, silly reasoning. But I guess that's why I haven't gotten into MS'ing yet haha
