Hi,

Does anybody know what qualifies as grocery purchase (for 3%) for this card?
What about Tim Horton's, LCBO etc?
Would my local specialty food store qualify as groceries?
Is there a list available somewhere?
Thanks
DM

Thanks for posting I was wondering what qualified too.
I applied for this card 3-4 weeks ago online. If I have not heard from them does this mean that I was turned down? Oh well I am not that unhappy with current cash back card.

PS why do I still have to do image verification? My eyes aren't that good.

They can be slow sometimes in approving people and sending out the card. Just call in and you'll find out what's up.

Also, Walmarts may qualify for the 3% if they are a Supercentre (they have a grocery section).

Right off a recent MBNA rewards statement of mine:

Code:
WAL-MART SUPERCENTE - WINDSOR, ON Bonus Points 	 $5.27 	 15.81
  	  	  	BASE: WAL-MART SUPERCENTE - WINDSOR, ON 	  	5.27
  	  	  	BONUS: Smart Cash 3x Points on Gas & Groceries (mcc specific) 	  	10.54

I found that odd as well, walmart supercenter appeared on my points statement.. suffice to say I will be buying just about everything from walmart for the 3% kickback. So far as I know it does not have to be groceries.. as my last purchase of electronics fell into the 3% as well.

@ct, give them a call to see what the status is on the application. With regards to image verification, we needed to make it a bit more challenging for new members (first few posts) due to a flood of spammers (bots etc). However, you can keep refreshing the image until it's readable. Once you're a verified member, you will not need to use the image verification any longer.
