Through June 2021 they’re treating groceries and gas the same as travel towards the $300.

Also, the rewards points can be redeemed for statement credit with the same 50% travel bonus on this “pay you back” thing against grocery and restaurant purchases

Ah. Didn't know that. Thanks.

Really? The travel category includes Airbnb, car rentals, rideshare, public transportation, parking, tolls, etc. in addition to the more obvious flights and hotels.

I have spent exactly $0 on any of those things since early March.

Yup. 3% on travel w/ +50% redemption is 4.5%. If you book travel on your personal card for any reason that adds up fast.
