I Am Planning To Buy Gift Cards To Hit The Maximum Dollar Amount For The 10% Freedom Bonus

UnknownI recently posted about this offer from Chase Freedom.  If you activate your Chase Freedom account again, you can earn 10 points per $1 on up to $1,500 in new combined purchases from November 23 – December 31, 2015.  You can earn these 10 points in this quarter’s bonus categories regardless of what you’ve spent this quarter, prior to November 23 when you received 5 points per $1.

I WANT the maximum amount of Chase Ultimate Rewards points from this offer.  10 points per dollar spent is too good for me to pass up.

I have been racking my brain to try to think of some big ticket items that I can buy on Amazon (one of the 4th quarter bonus categories), but I cannot come up with anything.  I do not want to buy $1,500 worth of granola bars.

When the December 31 deadline is approaching, I really may spend whatever I need to to get to that $1,500 in spend (which will equate to 15,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards Bonus points).  I figure I can always buy Amazon gift cards to make up any shortfall.  After all, I shop a lot on Amazon and will ultimately use these gift cards.  And I will then have my extra 15,000 Ultimate Rewards points!
