Cardcash no longer earns 5x when paying with the Chase INK credit card.
Up until June 16, we’d earn 5x Ultimate Rewards points when buying gift cards on Cardcash.com (whether paying with Paypal or direct payment) since it came up as ‘Utilities’ for reasons that aren’t entirely clear.
Multiple reports indicate that this is no longer the case.

Purchases made on June 15 and prior used to come up as ‘Utilities’. From June 16 and on it comes up as ‘Recreation.’
I’d guess it was either a cost savings measure that by changing their category their processing fees are less. There’s also a chance that Chase or Visa pressured them to change it.
Even Cardcash purchases paid with Paypal are no longer earning 5x since June 16 as confirmed by Demflyers, and it now comes up as Recreation.
I actually did a few tests yesterday to check myself, and I’ll see more tomorrow when the charges post. In any case, no Cardcash payments will earn 5x anymore. Gyft and PPDG should still work fine (I ran a test on this too, but there’s no reason to think anything changed). Update: Confirmed. No form of Cardcash payment will earn 5x (app, desktop, Paypal, ABC), but PPDG and Gyft are still working.
