5% categories for fourth quarter of 2017:
Dept. stores and Walmart

There are three possibilities for how many points are earned. In the following examples, the effective rates are assuming you cash out the points for 1 cent each, but if you can transfer them to Sapphire Preferred or Ink, the effective rate could be much higher.

    1 base point per dollar for all spending. Additional 4 bonus points per dollar for spending up to $1500 in quarterly categories.
    Example 1: Spend $1 on a parking meter. Earn 1 point, an effective rate of 1%.
    Example 2: Spend $10 to refill a Metrocard in 2016 Q1. Earn 50 points, an effective rate of 5%.
    Example 3: Spend $100 to buy a Long Island Rail Road Peak Ten-Trip ticket between zones 1 and 3 in 2016 Q1. Earn 500 points, an effective rate of 5%.
    Example 4: Spend $1500 at 7-Eleven in 2016 Q1. Earn 7500 points, an effective rate of 5%.
  • Cardholders with a Chase checking account in older program
    1 base point per dollar plus 10% of the base points plus 10 points per transaction for all spending. Additional 4 bonus points per dollar for spending up to $1500 in quarterly categories.
    Example 1: Spend $1 on a parking meter. Earn 11.1 points, an effective rate of 11.1%.
    Example 2: Spend $10 to refill a Metrocard in 2016 Q1. Earn 61 points, an effective rate of 6.1%.
    Example 3: Spend $100 to buy a Long Island Rail Road Peak Ten-Trip ticket between zones 1 and 3 in 2016 Q1. Earn 520 points, an effective rate of 5.2%.

It wasnt listed as supermarket on the Chase site. Doesnt mean it wont count, that is precisely why I am trying it out and hoping it should post.

it's a good thing that it includes my local store that sells $500 vgc

So one trip to Kroger and I'm done for the quarter?  I just got my first Freedom card in a 2BM.  This is a little anticlimactic...

You can always drag it out by taking 10 trips to purchasing $50 GCs! :-D

Did you see if it's listed under recent purchases:
On your Chase account, click on on Blueprint, click on Track it, and it will show you all of your purchases categorized into different categories. So if you've ever bought something at your local store, then you can see if it's a qualifying purchase.
You can modify your original post. The modify button is right next to the quote button.
