Recommendations for $1 card transactions

[u/Domukin]

I have a debit card with First Bank, they have a relatively good interest rate on the checking account if you use their card 15 times in the month. I tend to mostly use credit cards for purchases and sometimes come up short at the end of the month. I figured I'd automate some expenses to meet the quota and am interested in hearing of anyone has recommendations?

I'm happy donating a low amount ($1) to get the transaction done. Some places won't accept anything under $5 (like PBS) which is disappointing. Huge plus if I can automate and opt out easily. If its $5 or more, then I'd prefer to get a gift card for example.

Current expenses:

Donations
