    Does the $20K mean total for the card or per category? I suspect the former but better to verify.

    Can I downgrade my chase sapphire preferred and get the 3x spend it is it only to new applicants? My husband also has sapphire preferred card so 2 is overkill for us

      Tammie – You can downgrade but it would only earn the 1.5x, not the 3x for this offer. However, one thing to consider would be downgrading into a normal Freedom, getting a Freedom Unlimited, and effectively you and your spouse would have a Chase Trifecta.

    Exactly a year ago, Chase had an offer for the Chase Freedom Unlimited of 3x points for the first year with no cap. The offer was only out for a very short time before they pulled it. I was able to get the card and maximized the offer by putting all personal and business spend on it for the entire year. It’s been the most lucrative offer I have ever seen. I don’t think many people were able to take advantage of this offer before it was pulled.
