Update 1/16/21: Walmart grocery pickup & delivery has been added as a 5% category on the Discover It card. Grocery purchases were already listed as a 5% option, but they’d previously noted that Walmart and Target purchases were excluded. They’re now emailing cardholders to advise that Walmart grocery pickup & delivery orders are eligible, but not other Walmart purchases.

DP:T-mobile device payment (not the initial order) coded as 5x w/Chase

The activation link for Citi Dividend doesn’t seem to be working. Is it just me?

Creditian

Way too easy at BJ’s, $1500 can be done on 1/1.

Tettnanger

Maybe a dumb question, but one I’ve often wondered about. For Chase, if I activate the next quarter’s bonus categories, that doesn’t de-active the current quarter bonus categories does it?

Gene

No

Costco, yay!
