Update 3/13/18: This is now confirmed in a press release. It’s clear there that all Paypal purchases will work, both online or in-app.
R/churning member abhirupduttamit heard from a Chase rep the upcoming Q2 2018 Chase Freedom 5% categories:
- Grocery stores
- Chase Pay
- Paypal
These aren’t yet showing on the calendar or in the login, but a reader in the comments here confirmed the same from a Chase rep. We’ll update when it goes public.
Q1 2018 also has Chase Pay, and it’s not surprising to see that again as Chase has been pushing hard for their mobile wallet. Personally, I’m pleasantly surprised to see Paypal as that’s literally the easiest one for me, personally. I’ll max it out with some gift card purchases on eBay which no longer have any other category bonuses.
The Q2 2018 categories will be available for activation on March 15, and will be usable from April 1 through June 30, 2018. Discover will also be offering Grocery as their Q2 2018 category.
