If you have a Sam's Club membership, it may be one of the more lucrative ways to get this quarter done since you can stack the 5x UR with 5% via Dosh, and 5% with Uber Visa Local offers (at least where I am).

Of course that won't work. But the fee is about $5 to $6 and it is about 1.2% $ fee. We earning 5x UR points. Certainly work for a lot people if you do it right.

On 10/1 I made a transaction where I opened Chase Pay, chose the Freedom card, and clicked the Samsung Pay option. The transaction processed normally, but today it posted as 1x points only. I am sure others will try, but for me this did not work to trigger the 5x bonus category.
And two data points for issues that already seem settled in prior posts: Costco Gas purchase on 9/30 did yield 5x, and a Costco Gas purchase on 10/1 got 1x.

I just did my first digital wallet transaction for the quarter via the long method (Chase Pay to Pay to Samsung Pay to PIN to NFC). The instant notification on the completed transaction amount was from Samsung Pay, but when I open the Chase Pay app, it shows the transaction as Pending - Chase Pay. That has to be good news so far. The website and regular Chase Pay app has no detail of that sort (just the usual pending with no click detail). If it doesn't post as 5x, I will definitely seek retro credit for these types of transactions.
On Doctor of Credit they say that "the fine print specifically states purchases through Samsung Pay when linked qualify for 5% as well." I could not find this statement--anyone have a link to this?

So I sent a secure message to Chase regarding the Chase Pay to Samsung Pay transaction not posting as 5x. I got the following response: for you to receive 5.00% for a Chase Pay transactions you cannot Pay with Samsung Pay within the Chase Pay app. The transaction needs to be made only with Chase Pay.

That'd heavily depend on what you personally find useful... My local Best Buy apparently hasn't carried Amazon GC for a few years (although BB in another state does) and said that VGCs might still be stocked occasionally.

i know someone who tried it through samsung pay only, who only earned 1x. but to my discredit, im not sure if he did it correctly or not. (ie adding the cards via chase pay vs adding it straight into samsung pay)

In the offers below, does anyone know if the $50 purchase to earn the first bonus ALSO counts as one of your five purchases to earn the second bonus? Or do you need to make five separate transactions - six total - using your Reserve and Chase Pay to earn all 2,500 points?
