I am getting on my Barclay's cash back card 2% at Walmart and Bjs

Isn't that at every store on the Barclays?

What do you mean "every store" ?
Hardware store included ?
No. When I expand the transaction online it will tell me that it's a grocery and supermarket.

Barclay arrival plus is 2 percent on everything but you must have a different Barclay card

I don't have the arrival. I have the Barclay's rewards. Which give 2% on groceries and gas.

Amex in general has its own categorization, different than Visa and MasterCard

Is that a fact ?
I don't think so. It has to do how the merchant setup there merchant account . which catagorie they are.

Yes.

If I convert the BCP into the old BC will my reward balance transfer automatically or do I have to empty out my reward balance first?

Can't... Gotta apply from scratch
