Jewel-Osco is owned by Albertsons and do sell VGCs. Dominck's was owned by Safeway and closed all the Dominck's late 2013/early 2014. Some of those stores have turned into Mariano's.
I'd say that Jewel-Osco and Mariano's are now the largest Chicago area supermarkets.
Jewel-Osco does post as 5% for Chase:

I know that Fred Meyer is a Chase Freedom Q1 5x Merchant.
My local Fred Meyers do not give fuel points on VGC (or even their own gift card). I image that these would count towards the Chase 5x, though. Anyone know for sure?

AFAIK non of the Kroger outlets does earn fuel points on the variable load GCs. Just tried it yesterday out of curiosity @ Ralphs. Fuel points this order: 0. But I think you get (sometimes even double) FP on the fixed value GCs...

I go to Chicago a lot and was there New Years day and put some money on my CTA card with Discover for the cash back. I see it posted on my statement as Ventra and as travel/entertainment instead of CTA and transportation services, hopefully this doesn't mean making a call to discover

Double dip on my DS.
Used mostly gas transactions to hit my $2K spending which finished up the overlapping $300 cashback promotion.

7-11 is very store dependent. It is NOT a corporate hard code. Brand new stores often work best. When I have time I try to go to every one in my area just to see if it'll work. If it doesn't just move on. If it works try to remember that employee to try with them next week.
