Update: Chase Freedom Announces 5% Cash Back Categories for Q3 18
Because Chase Freedom offers only 1% cash back on purchases that do not fall into the special categories, and the 5% cash back incentive applies only to the first $1,500 in qualifying purchases every quarter, we still do most of our spending on our Fidelity Rewards card that offers 2% cash back on all purchases.
That said, adding the Chase Freedom credit card into the mix has proven to be a Smart Financial Decision for the ROMT family.
Since we started using the Chase Freedom card last spring, our family has received about $375 in extra cash back and sign up incentives!
Not a bad payoff for a brief online application and spending a few seconds to make sure we are using the right credit card when making purchases!
