In Chase branches, it’s now officially showing their Q1 2016 category.  Gas and local commuter transportation will earn 5x during January, February, and March 2016.
HT: TPG
Enrollment will available for this category from December 15, 2015 until March 14, 2016.
This makes Freedom’s categories the same as Discover’s who will be offering gas and ground transportation as well. Discover Q1 2016 category can already be activate, while Chase begins activation on December 15, as noted.
Remember, many gas stations sell gift cards and that can be an additional way of maxing out the categories.
Discover categories have the advantage of being doubled for many and becoming 10%, and Chase has the advantage of being more valuable than 5% cashback when paired with a real  point-earning Chase card and being redeemed for travel.
Remaining Quarters
No official word yet on the remaining categories, but insider info suggests (1, 2) that it will look as follows:
- Q2 2016 Restaurants and probably a few others
- Q3 2016 Gas and local ground transportation again
- Q4 2016 Amazon and associated brands
Pretty similar to 2015, except that Q1 2015 was grocery and Q1 2016 will be gas.
