You can now activate your 5% cash back/5 Ultimate Rewards points per $ spent (up to $1,500) in bonus categories on your Freedom and Freedom Flex cards.
You need to activate by March 14, 2024. Do that here- Get Your Bonus.
The 4th quarter bonus categories are Grocery Stores, Fitness Clubs and Gym Memberships and Self-Care and Spa Services (first time for the last category).
If you want more clarification on these merchants, you can find that here. Chase Freedom: Cash Back Credit Card | Chase.com
REMEMBER-the 5x on these new categories does not start until January 1.
How do you know if you hit the $1500 and are no longer getting 5x?
1. Log into Chase
2. Get to your Ultimate Rewards homepage and make sure your Freedom OR Freedom FLEX card is showing in top left.
3. Click “Your Dashboard”
4. You should see a section on the right titled “Your current 5% cash back earnings”. If you see you have reached $75 (5% of $1500) then you have hit the $1500 and should stop using the Freedom card on these purchases.
