I just got in a Chase Rewards Card and on the website its confusing about the rewards when i log in: it says

Quote:

CashBuilder Rewards
Perfect Card Rewards
Freedom Rewards
Ultimate Cash Rewards

EDIT: i just looked online and i got the chase flexible rewards platinum visa so maybe i CAN use all of them or pick one per month i am not sure.

i am not sure if i get all those or i get one of them. anyway it said on the card when i got it that i get 5% on groceries, gas,drugstores and home improvent stores and 2% for everything else which i think includes restaurants but i am not too sure about that. i dont think it has to be walmart.. jsut a grocery store that uses the mastercard or visa logo. correct me if i am wrong though. i got a $3,000 CL btw.

usmsci, regular drugstores always get the higher cash back amount. Walmart actually is the exception in certain cases (Citi gives only 1% on Walmart purchases, for instance).

Curtis, I get the full 5% on all Walmart purchases just because it has that grocery store section I’ve gone there once and bought only clothes and still got 5% back!

so if i shop at walmart ill get the 5% but if i shop at albertsons or winn dixie i wont get the 5%? the benefits page states that as long as the supermarket is referenced as grocery then it shouldnt matter. I would rather shop at winn-dixie, albertsons and walgreens then step foot in china-mart. seems to me that a grocery store is a grocery store and you should get the 5%.

Unless i missed something a grocery store is a grocery store. lets hope certain credit cards are not biased towards certain retailers.
