LOL. I do, too.

But it's increasingly at warehouse stores and online, which don't count as "grocery stores."

I've maxed one Freedom and working on a second. I buy groceries and gift cards (as needed) for places like gas stations and stores that don't fall into any category spend and for items that I know I will not need to return. On the gift card end you could probably benefit from gift cards that you can load into your account and not have to worry about carrying them around and losing them. You can do this with Amazon, Target (pay in store with your phone), and even eBay (after you make one purchase with the gift card it's in your account and available for future purchases). I have the Amazon Prime card, but that's a cash back card and I prefer and get more value out of UR points so I will probably buy a healthy amount of those and just load them to my account for future use. If the end of the quarter approaches and I haven't maxed out I usually just buy a gift card for the grocery store for future use. Those tend to work great as I can use them to buy third-party gift cards in the future (at least the Safeway ones let me do it).

Sorry if I ask a question with an obvious answer, I'm new to all this and couldn't find anything so far:
is it possible to double dip on the bonus categories by going through Chase's shipping portal?
thank you for being patient with a beginner

Yes it is possible. I did a significant amount of spend this quarter using Build.com using the Chase shopping portal. All points posted.

Any indications on the Q3 categories?

I have a big purchase at Costco so if they were going to have warehouse stores in Q3 ...

At a minimum, get the Costco Executive Membership to maximize money back.

Patience grasshopper. Just like every other quarter for the past few years we'll know on or about June 15

Do the Q2 categories for Lowe's include lowes.com ?

Thanks for also including the list, mia! The link, which I’ve seen many others post elsewhere, goes to the current category and shows only WM and PP right now. I made a $1500+ purchase at Build.com and the merchant category listed on my statement is Antique Shops, so it’s good to know that Chase itself has included the company in the Home Improvement category in the past, in case I don’t automatically get the bonus points from their newly (un)announced promo. Fingers crossed!
