Card Highlights

Chase Freedom Unlimited is a Credit Card

With a credit card, you can carry a balance and accrue interest if necessary.  Note this is not advised by me. The points game does not work well, if you are carrying a balance and accruing interest.  See #4 in Let’s Get Started To Earning Free Travel.

Earn Cash Back Or Ultimate Rewards Points

Your Cash Back Rewards are tracked as points in the Chase Ultimate Rewards program. Your redemption options depend on whether you have other Chase Ultimate Rewards cards.  Learn about the Chase Ultimate Rewards Program here.

Sign-up Bonus

Before you apply, make sure your ability to get the sign-up bonus is not limited by Chase restrictions on an additional sign-up bonus or the Chase 5/24 rule. Also be mindful of the unwritten 30 day application rule.

Using Your Chase Ultimate Rewards Points For Travel

Cash Back-Your points can be redeemed for cash back. When you use points to redeem for cash, each point is worth $0.01 (one cent), which means that 100 points equals $1 in redemption value.

Ultimate Rewards-Your points can be redeemed as Ultimate Rewards if you also have the Chase Ink Business Preferred card, Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve.  You can read more about that here.
