    Default Receiving Cash Back at Supermarket Question

    I was wondering if anyone has purchased gift cards and received cash back on them through their credit card company. I know with American Express, you can check your reward status online. All someone has to do is buy groceries and a few gift cards, check their online statement for rewards, and calculate whether or not the gift cards were applied to rewards percentages or not. I hope this works! Thanks in advance.

    It works. I've been doing this for a while.

    The technique is also a backdoor to get 6% cash back on gas, through buying the gas station credit cards from a supermarket.
    Disclosure: I am a moderator/paid staff of this site, which does have advertising relationships with some credit cards that are discussed. Regardless, anything I say is my honest opinion.

    Current Cards:
    American Express: Blue Cash, Simply Cash Bank of America: WorldPoints Platinum Plus Chase: Amazon, British Airways, Cash Plus Rewards, Freedom, Ink Cash Citi: Thank You Premier, Dividend Platinum Select Discover: More
    Primary Everyday Card: American Express Blue Cash
    Primary Travel Card: Citi Thank You Premier
