So one of the open secrets is that if you use the Chase Ink cards to buy gift cards at PayPal Digital GC, you triggered the 5% office supply category.
I think there used to be confusion about whether the same would apply to the Amex SimplyCash card, which also offers 5% cash back for office supply purchases. I naively bought a bunch of these PPDG GC with my Amex thinking it'd trigger the 5% and just looked at my statement online, no 5%! I think it's because at least with Amex, it is categorized as internet services.
Just a PSA and let me know if you have a different experience or if this was known and I just missed the warning signs
