Hm, I wonder if Walmart/Target/Amazon gift cards can be used to purchase gift cards (closed-end, not VGC) at their respective stores?

I just ran to Walgreen and bought a $25 Amazon GC with Chase Pay (bridged to Samsung Pay). I'll see what reward rate I get.
I used my Chase Pay (Freedom) to buy some eBay GC at ShopRite to test out. But it only allows one transaction at a time. I do not know if this is because of GC or Chase Pay....

I definitely saw Amazon and either Home Depot or Lowes, but I don't recall who had what.

The long way (Chase Pay to Pay to Samsung Pay) has worked on at least one transaction posted for me so far. This first posted transaction shows in Chase Pay as Sale - Chase Pay and on the regular chase website as 4x bonus (5x total).
Make sure the transaction says Pending - Chase Pay in the Chase Pay app immediately after you have done the charge. Without that, there is no chance. I believe it knows it is Chase Pay pending because the virtual number was used (not the physical card number) and can even link the charge with a Pay click on the Chase Pay app.
My first test was NFC (did not resort to mag strip emulation). My second test which I expect to post as 5x was also pure NFC. I probably have at least one test tomorrow that will use mag strip emulation where POS does not accept tap or contactless.
I am confident using the long way is good for 5x for this quarter. Meaning 5x on any in-store purchase where you can access the card terminal easily.

More support for Chase's switch to transaction date. Thank you. We'll see how long that policy lasts because it's not like Chase is a stranger to post date requirements. Minimum spend must post by the time-limit to earn a sign-up bonus.

I called Chase a couple of times with my costco purchase not getting the points. After I proved that a different purchase using chase pay showed with the 4th quarter bonus, they verified that its suppose to include costco.com, they escalated it while I was on the the phone and then manually credited my account the addtional points

Technically the sale should be always on the transaction date, since that is when the POS taking place. You can always fight about it if any reward is denied because of this. You can always have the ordering receipt to show the date.

Ok, my account got credited with missing points. It took a SM to Chase though. Obviously, the system is not automatic.
