Chase Freedom Promo: $100 Sign-Up Bonus + 5% Cash Back
The Chase Freedom Visa card has a new promotion offering a $100 check if you sign up and make $799 in purchases in your first three months. In addition, as a rewards credit card it is better than the plain vanilla 1% cashback cards, with its 5% cashback on rotating categories like gas, home improvement and department stores. The categories usually include at least one big-spending area, and seem to go with the seasons (home improvement for spring, gas and travel for the summer). Details below…
Current 5% Cash Back Categories
Through June 30th, you get 5% back on qualifying purchases up to $800 in the following categories:
- Home Improvement stores
- Home Furnishing stores

Between July 1st and September 30th, 2010, you can get 5% cash back on up to $1,500 spent in the following categories:

You must enroll each quarter at ChaseBonus.com. All other purchases do earn a standard 1%, with no tiers or expiration of rewards. No annual fee.
If you’re interested in a bigger $250 sign-up bonus and human-with-no-hold-times on customer service (but no 5% cash back), check out the new Chase Sapphire Preferred Card.
