Activate Chase Freedom 3rd Quarter 5x Categories
It’s that time of the quarter, folks. Chase revealed their Freedom 3rd quarter 5x categories as Restaurants and Movie Theaters and it’s time to activate those categories so you can earn your bonuses. Unfamiliar with what I’m talking about? If you have a Chase Freedom, each quarter, Chase designates different categories you can earn 5 times the bonus on your spend. Since the Chase Freedom is a “cash back” card this bonus comes in the form of cash back. However, as we know, if you maintain a premium card ( Sapphire Preferred, Reserve, Business Preferred, Ink Plus, Ink Bold) then you are able convert your cash back into Ultimate Rewards.
You can go here to activate
Bonuses are limited to $1500 per quarter on the designated categories. Meaning you could earn $75 or 7500 Ultimate Rewards per quarter if you max out the offer.
Don’t have a Chase Freedom? You can apply here with my referral link to earn $150 ( 15k UR) after $500 Spend
You could use your points to put towards flying to Europe in SAS’s gorgeous business class. A great way to get to Sweden and see Stockholm. I’d highly recommend the Hilton Stockholm
