Chase Freedom Q3 - possible hack?
« on: August 18, 2017, 10:41:33 AM »
Hey all,

Knowing that restaurants/movie theaters are hard to MS, how about this hack?

Go to a Whole Foods, Hy Vee, or other grocery store that has an attached in-store cafe. Do a small purchase and see if that register rings up as a restaurant. Then see if you can buy GCs off the display at that register.

What do you think?

I wonder if this would work at IKEA.

Very unlikely the Cafe is coded as restaurant. More likely Cafe is coded just like store.

+1. If it codes as a restaurant, they most likely will not allow you to pay for your groceries there.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

Not only for freedom card. Discover card also has 5% cashback on restaurants.

Darn, should have tried that when I was in KS a few days ago.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
