here is the definition for the Spa and Self Care
This category includes self-care and spa services, such as massages, spa treatments, manicures, tanning, and barber and salon services, purchased at merchant locations that specialize in providing these services. These services are typically provided by licensed professionals, however, services provided by medical professionals will not qualify. Purchases of self-care and spa services at merchants that classify their location in another category, for example spa services purchased in a hotel, will not be included unless the merchant classifies the transactions in this category. Purchases of related products and services, for example hair and skincare products purchased at a salon or an overnight stay at a spa, will also not be included unless the merchant classifies the transactions in this category.

Has anyone else had issues activating Q1 2024? My app doesn't show the activate link at all and on the webpage clicking the activate link just takes me to a Q4 2023 summary.

I was a bit late switching my credit card for my gym, TMPL Gym, so I missed out on a month. It codes as "Membership clubs, country clubs, private golf courses" even though it's just a gym. Anyone with experience getting the bonus points for gyms that code as such?

Happy to report that the place I go for nails did code as "Health and beauty spas." It's a salon that only does nails and hair styling, not full service (no cuts, color, etc.)
I only go a few times a year, usually before a big event or a fancier vacation, but I saw the 5% bonus as a reason to treat myself this month. I'd be miffed if it didn't count.
