Dept. stores and Walmart

    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.

Can anyone recommend which grocery stores sell Visa Gift Cards in the 5 towns, preferably $500 Visa Gift Cards?
Once again...Shoprite sells them. There is a brand new Shorpite on Erskine street right off the Belt.

You don't go grocery shopping in general? You can always just buy store credit at your go to supermarket.
there are a lot of bochurim here who don't do much spending in groceries
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Should've been on your February statement (mine was at least). Take a look at it.

Does the cash back amount refer specifically to the 5% quarterly bonus? Trying to see how much Ive used/ have left still before end of quarter.

No--the cash back is for all your purchases, not just the quarterly bonus ones, for your current statement period.If you go to 'see more activity' it will show all your purchases itemized, and their cash back with or w/o a bonus.

I called chase asking for my annual bonus on freedom due to having a checking account with them, and they told me they don't do that anymore, instead I get 10 points per trans every month and a 10% bonus every month on points accrued... which I have been getting every month...
