Conclusion
It is nice of Discover to give us a heads up for the entire year. Although the categories seem to stay about the same each year. It looks like Uber and Lyft is new. Grocery stores is always a favorite category of many as well as Amazon to finish off the year.
Let me know what category is your favorite in the comments section.
Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

Most useful: Drug Stores (because I don’t have any other cards that bonus that category). Least useful: Wholesale Clubs, which don’t even accept Discover cards! Well, Costco, doesn’t anyway. Most annoying, when Discover and Chase copy each other’s categories quarter by quarter.
Costco accepts Discover and MasterCard on line. To use Discover card in store, all you have to do is buy their gift card (now called the Shop Card) online and use in store. Problem solved, you get your 5%.
Uber and Lyft were there for 2019 the new addition is wholesale clubs for Q2
Q1 added CVS and Walgreens
Everything else is the same
What is your guess for the Chase Freedom categories for January? Don’t worry won’t hold you to it..Lol
